Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has announced a new contract opportunity that aligns closely with AMAST’s antimicrobial resistance research priorities.
FSS seeks a supplier to conduct a literature review examining the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in bacteria used as feed additives, plus develop a decision tree to support evaluation of potential AMR genes in feed additive trial applications.
Key Details:
- Value: £70,000 (excluding VAT)
- Duration: 8 months
- Application Deadline: 29 October 2025, 12:00 UK time
This project directly addresses the intersection of feed additives, probiotic alternatives to antimicrobials, and AMR risk assessment – core themes in AMAST’s One Health approach. The work will inform regulatory decisions on feed additive trials in Scotland and contribute to evidence-based AMR risk management.
How to apply: Applications must be submitted via the Public Contracts Scotland website. Full procurement documents are available here: View Notice – Public Contracts Scotland.
This opportunity represents a great chance to contribute to evidence-based AMR policy development while building partnerships with regulatory authorities.
