Notice Title

Better Health Food Scanning API

Notice Description

The Food scanning app provides users with nutritional information and advice on branded and non-branded supermarket goods, allowing them to make more informed decisions on what they eat. We are looking to procure access to an API and database that includes as many supermarket brands as available with barcode information to be called via API into the app when the end-user scans branded and non-branded items in the supermarket. Responses would be appreciated by 28th October, however any other submissions after this date will still be considered and reviewed. Not submitting an RFI response will not preclude any supplier from future procurement activity.
