Official Controls Food Interventions

The Provision of Official control food interventions and food premises inspections for Leeds City Council (LCC), City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC), and Wakefield Metropolitan District Council (WMDC). The Food Safety Act 1990 and associated legislation place statutory duties on local authorities to carry out Official Controls and other food related regulatory activities. To meet these statutory duties and deliver Official Controls, Leeds City Council (LCC), City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC), and Wakefield Metropolitan District Council (WMDC) provide a food hygiene and safety regulatory function within their authorities. This function includes carrying out Official Control food interventions including food hygiene inspections at food premises within their respective areas as part of their annual risk based intervention programmes and service plans. LCC, BMDC and WMDC are seeking a single external provider to support the respective food intervention programmes of each authority in their areas through the provision of the specified Official Controls and food interventions.
