WHAT WE NEED
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Food Residue Surveillance Program (FRSP) was established in 2003 to monitor residues and contaminants in food not covered by other major monitoring programmes. MPI intends to contract for a sample collection service to facilitate the sampling of plant-based primary foods commodities and transportation to testing laboratories. This is Part A of a two part procurement.
MPI has prepared a sampling protocol (available on GETS) which provides guidance to providers on the types of produce included in the monitoring programme, the growing regions and seasonal timing for domestic produce. Samples would then be transported to the contracted laboratory as soon as practicable.
We are looking to award a contract for an initial two year term, from 3 July 2017 to 28 June 2019, with an option for MPI to renew the contract for two periods of one year (i.e. four years in total).
Supplier briefings will be offered in the week of 13 February 2017.
KEY OUTCOMES
The key outcomes MPI wants to achieve through this procurement are:
- an agreed contract for the collection of samples and transportation to laboratories of plant-based primary food commodities in accordance with the requirements set out in the contract and its appended documents;
- sampling capability for certain analytes; and
- a professional working relationship between MPI and the contracted service provider; and between the service provider and the testing laboratory.
WHAT WE DON'T WANT
This RFP is not to source testing services as these will be sourced separately (refer Part B: Laboratory testing for agricultural chemicals in plant-based primary food commodities, MPI reference 18244 and GETS reference 18220669).
Suppliers may present proposals for combined sampling and testing.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO US
The Ministry is looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to satisfy the needs of the sampling protocol and the procurement specification. They need to have a good track record in the management and implementation of related programmes and effective networks and strong relationships.
