Published requirement description

The Council has awarded a contract for the provision of its Public Analyst and Agriculture Analyst Services.Norfolk County Council Trading Standards Service allocates part of its budget to food and feeding stuff/ fertiliser sampling.

This allows us to submit samples in batches where the analysis requirements are the same for each sample.
