The project
As part of the MSC’s commitment to reduce duplication of audit elements of the Chain of Custody standard and other similar standards, MSC is tendering a contract for delivery of a process to assist accredited certifiers to combine audits.
The project scope entails a comparative exercise of multiple Chain of Custody type standards (i.e. BRC, SQF, HACCP, ISO 22000) to identify the overlapping and additional requirements.
The MSC program
The MSC operates an exciting and ambitious program, working with partners to transform the world's seafood markets and promote sustainable fishing practices. The MSC certification program gives fisheries a way to independently confirm sustainability, a competitive edge in the marketplace, and an assurance to buyers that the fish comes from a well managed and sustainable source.
Tender process
Full details of the call for tenders can be found on the MSC website here.
Interested contractors should submit their tender documents to the MSC Executive by midnight GMT on 26 August 2010. Tenders shall be submitted electronically to evi [dot] mateboer [at] msc [dot] org .
