## Summary

The Food Standards Agency, located in York, has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Supply of Co-ordination of transportation of FSA OC 2025" project. This initiative, operating in the services category, focuses on coordinating the transport of FSA Official Control samples, specifically wild caught fishery products, to EU Official Laboratories for analysis and reporting. The procurement process adopted a direct method, bypassing competition due to its below-threshold classification. The contract, awarded to Eurofins Food Testing Ireland Ltd, is active from 6th June 2025 through to 31st March 2028, with an optional extension of two years available until 2030. The contract value stands at £130,000 net, with a gross value of £156,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in logistical support and laboratory analysis within the food standards sector. Although the contract has already been awarded, similar future opportunities might appeal to companies that can ensure efficient and compliant transport and testing of food samples. Businesses that specialise in research laboratory services, particularly those familiar with compliance and regulatory requirements within the UK and EU, would do well to watch for similar tenders. The demand for expert handling of food safety and testing procedures means that businesses with existing relationships in the public sector and robust logistic frameworks will be ideally suited to seize growth opportunities in forthcoming related contracts.
