Research call for official controls review

Thursday 12 January 2012

The Food Standards Agency has invited suppliers to tender for work gathering evidence on current official controls delivery. Applications are open to pre-qualified contractors already registered on two specific frameworks.

The research project will provide an overview of the current structures in place for delivering food and feed official controls by all local authorities, indicate how this is changing, and identify the interactions between delivery and other areas of activity.

The review of official controls delivery will evaluate the effectiveness of the current delivery model in the UK, and consider the scope for making improvements.

A copy of the research specification and information on the frameworks can be found below.
