About

The FSA is seeking a supplier for sampling to support an EU‑harmonised 2027 surveillance survey of antimicrobial‑resistant (AMR) E. coli and Salmonella in fresh beef and pork sold at retail in the UK. The contract covers survey design, retail sample collection and transportation to the testing laboratory and must be fully compliant with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/1729 and the Technical specifications on randomisation of sampling for AMR monitoring from food‑producing animals and food (from 2021); testing, microbiological analysis, data analysis and archiving will be tendered separately. The successful sampling supplier must work collaboratively with the appointed testing laboratory throughout the contract — agreeing sampling schedules and delivery arrangements, coordinating sample transfers, sharing sampling data, metadata and documentation, resolving logistical and operational issues, and participating in joint meetings with the FSA and testing laboratory as required.
