Description

This project will involve UK CEH analysing a set of 20 honey samples for a suite of pesticides. The same samples will also be analysed by Fera in a separate piece of work. This will enable a comparison of the reported pesticide residue values between the two different labs, which will allow us to: a) identify and benchmark any anomalies; b) validate the approaches taken by both labs; and c) ultimately give us confidence in using both labs for residue analysis into the future.

Aims 

This project will need to: 
•	Quantify pesticide residues from organic honey samples that were spiked with pesticides last year (10 samples stored under ambient conditions and 10 frozen).
•	Undertake a comparison of quantified residues from UK CEH analysis and Fera analysis. 
•	Develop proposals for next steps depending on the outcomes.
•	Report all the above findings into Defra.

GMCA 1229 Good Landlord Charter Evaluation

GMCA is seeking a supplier to evaluate the implementation and delivery of the Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter (GLC) over a three-year period. The Good Landlord Charter is a voluntary scheme for landlords who want to commit to higher standards than they are currently required to by law. All landlords (both social and private) across the ten Greater Manchester local authorities are able to apply to be part of the Good Landlord Charter. It will be the first such scheme in the country open to all landlords, no matter whether they are private or social landlords, big or small and is managed by an Independent Implementation Unit. The GLC has seven characteristics and 21 associated criteria relating to what is a good landlord. The Implementation Unit started operating at the end of 2024 and is in the process of setting up. The purpose of the evaluation will be to evaluate the following: 1) How the implementation and delivery of the GLC have met its objectives. 2) How the implementation and delivery of the GLC has delivered against each of the GLC criteria and characteristics. 3) The experiences of landlords, tenants and stakeholders in relation to the GLC. 4) Barriers faced and lessons learnt in the implementation and delivery of the GLC. It is expected that the evaluation of the GLC will use mixed methods, the evaluator will be required to work closely with the Implementation Unit and the GMCA to agree on data collection and processing.
