The brief

The supplier will provide a service for the delivery of Official Controls (OCs) in accordance with relevant UK law in FSS AMEs.

Typically, this also includes routine attendance in Approved Game Handling Establishments (AGHEs) for joint veterinary and inspector functions and duties.

This contract covers remote areas within Scotland or reduced attendance requirements, where it would be uneconomical for FSS to deploy its own official veterinarians and/or meat hygiene inspectors.

The requirement for these services is on a locum basis.
