Description

FS430790 The Supplier will carry out specific imported food commodity sampling, transportation to labs and analytical testing for a range of residues/contaminants. The work packages are expected to be agreed annually, starting in April 2026 with each package concluding, including delivery of the draft final report before March the following year. Although it would be our intention to request work annually, there is a reliance on FSA receiving a sufficient budget to allow this to happen. The FSA cannot guarantee any work packages.
