## Description

Tenders are invited to carry out audits of recycling plants in the UK where recycled plastic will be placed on the market for use in food contact applications\. Auditing will need to commence after the European Commission publishes its authorisation decisions for processes placing recycled plastic onto the EU market\. The earliest the work will be required to start is in July 2021, although we cannot rule out a delay and would like to bring this to the attention of prospective applicants\. Audits will be carried out initially on the basis of one audit per site per year, with the repeat frequency of auditing based on the success of previous audits\. Sites that do not pass their initial audit will require a follow-up visit within a period of 28 calendar days for them to address issues raised in the first visit\.
