When this comes round again

The Food Standards Agency publishes Research & Development work continuously — 231 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

60% of The Food Standards Agency’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Tenders are invited to carry out audits of recycling plants in the UK where recycled plastic will be placed on the market for use in food contact applications.

Auditing will need to commence after the European Commission publishes its authorisation decisions for processes placing recycled plastic onto the EU market.

The earliest the work will be required to start is in July 2021, although we cannot rule out a delay and would like to bring this to the attention of prospective applicants.

Audits will be carried out initially on the basis of one audit per site per year, with the repeat frequency of auditing based on the success of previous audits.

Sites that do not pass their initial audit will require a follow-up visit within a period of 28 calendar days for them to address issues raised in the first visit.
