FS101211 Radiological Monitoring Sample, Analysis and Collection

Description

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. The successful contractor will conduct sampling and radiological analysis of foods in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The data generated will be used as part of the RIFE Report (Radioactivity in Food and Environment). The Radiological monitoring programmes are undertaken for monitoring purposes as opposed to research, to enable the FSA to comply with its responsibility to protect contamination of the food chain. These samples are analysed and used to carry out the assessment of dose. Samples to be collected will therefore be of food and feed from locations around major nuclear sites and several dairies away from nuclear sites across England and Wales. In addition, samples may be required from other locations in the British Isles which would either be agreed through ad hoc arrangements within this contract or by separate contract extensions or variations as appropriate.
