It is a UK-wide body with offices in London, Cardiff, Belfast and York. Prior to a full sanitary survey being undertaken, a provisional Representative Monitoring Point (pRMP) is designated to enable sampling to be initiated at the area for classification purposes. The pRMP is set to provide the most suitable representation of the microbiological quality of the area where the shellfish is grown, based on a desk top review, assessment of publically available information on the geographical characteristics of the area and potential sources of pollution, as well as any existing sanitary surveys and/or E. coli data relating to the area (if available) or any neighbouring classified harvesting areas (where relevant). The purpose of the pRMP assessment is to determine the location of a pRMP to inform the sampling plan; it also confirms the provisional boundary of the area to be classified. The procurement will be managed electronically by the Food Standards Agency e-tendering portal.
