Description
The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) was announced this year as a key bilateral aid programme under the £500m Blue Planet Fund. OCPP objectives are to support countries to tackle marine pollution, support sustainable seafood practices and establish designated, well-managed and enforced Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
Current analysis of marine pollution and water quality in Belize is stunted by both limited resources, a lack of cost recovery mechanisms of existing laboratories, and the outsourcing of certain analysis to laboratories outside of Belize.
Cefas require the successful Tenderer to provide services to assess the readiness, and support progress towards accreditation to ISO 17025:2017 for marine pollution testing laboratories in Belize, through:
1. Producing a self assessment document for initial assessment of lab readiness for accreditation.
2. Deliver an in-country workshop in Belize for key stakeholders on ISO 17025:2017 accreditation for testing laboratories.
3. Complete gap analysis via in-country visits to labs in Belize who wish to further evaluate the option of accreditation.
