This tender falls under the industry category of research and development services with a focus on consultancy services. The procurement stage is currently active, and submissions are open until 30 March 2021, with the earliest contract commencement date set for 30 April 2021. The procurement process is conducted through an open procedure, allowing for broad participation from potential suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing and consultancy within the recycling sector, particularly those with experience in compliance and food safety regulations. Companies that provide environmental auditing services or have expertise in the recycling of plastic materials for food contact applications will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract not only allows businesses to contribute to sustainability efforts but also positions them to establish long-term partnerships with the Food Standards Agency and other related organisations in the future. ## Notice Tenders are invited to carry out audits of recycling plants in the UK where recycled plastic will be placed on the market for use in food contact applications. Auditing will need to commence after the European Commission publishes its authorisation decisions for processes placing recycled plastic onto the EU market. The earliest the work will be required to start is in July 2021, although we cannot rule out a delay and would like to bring this to the attention of prospective applicants. Audits will be carried out initially on the basis of one audit per site per year, with the repeat frequency of auditing based on the success of previous audits. Sites that do not pass their initial audit will require a follow-up visit within a period of 28 calendar days for them to address issues raised in the first visit. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Tenders are invited to carry out audits of recycling plants in the UK where recycled plastic will be placed on the market for use in food contact applications.
