The service involved collecting shellfish and water samples according to an agreed sampling plan, complying with Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) protocols for microbiological quality, toxin-producing plankton, biotoxins, and chemical contaminants in live bivalve molluscs.

Samples were taken from classified beds in The Swale, stored, and transported to the Public Health England FWEM laboratory for analysis, along with associated administration.

The contract value was £85,970, commencing on 1 April 2022 and terminating on 31 March 2026, with an option to extend for a further year.
