Tender description

The purpose of this request for tender (RFT) is to set up service contracts for the provision of external laboratory analysis services (screening and confirmatory analysis). The RFT provides for a number of lots. Tenderers may tender for 1 or more lots. The Department requires laboratories to carry out: (a) screening; and/or (b) confirmatory analysis on a range of samples (animal tissue, plasma, serum, urine, honey, milk and eggs) collected under Ireland’s National Residue Control Programme (NRCP). The scope of sampling covers various animal/food categories and distinct residue groups (hereinafter referred to as ‘Samples’). Samples are required to be analysed at officially approved laboratories holding accreditation to the International Standard ISO 17025.
