    Brief

    The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) seeks a courier service to transport food samples of plant origin collected by Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) inspectors. Samples are gathered from across the UK and shipped to two laboratories—one in Scotland and one in England—as part of the official pesticide residues in food monitoring programme. This is a regulatory requirement under retained legislation (Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), with HSE designated as the competent authority by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The selected supplier must provide reliable, secure transportation ensuring samples reach laboratories in suitable condition for testing.
