## Notice

The environment agencies and the FSA manage an annual monitoring programme, which gathers data on the levels of radioactivity in food, and the environment (RIFE) (air, water, sediment, gamma dose rate, etc.). These, together with the most up to date habits data, are then used to conduct retrospective dose assessments to check that radiation dose to members of the public, as a result of authorised discharges, are within legal limits. The assessment and report are critical to the FSA's strategic aim that food in UK is safe to eat. The contractor (or lead contractor in the case of a consortium bid) should demonstrate an organisational project management culture and individual project management qualifications or equivalent experience such that they can successfully deliver this project on time and budget.
