Notice Title
Remote Digital Technology
Notice Description
One of the key principles of Operational Modernisation (OMT) is to exploit advances in technology to support the more effective delivery of Official Controls, ensuring that we use robust data, evidence and analysis to support effective decision making. The introduction of improved digital capability for operational inspection, verification and assurance activity will facilitate more accurate, consistent and standardised processes as well as providing additional operational flexibility and efficiency.<br/><br/>Since October 2021, due to the significant challenges posed by Covid19, remote digital capability has been utilised, trialling the technology to explore its suitability for use in the work environment, gathering live video, still photography and audio evidence to support remote partial audit assessments with the Veterinary Audit Team.<br/>FSA Audit activity covers the inspection of all licensed meat establishments across England and Wales. These audits can be impacted by a variety of environmental factors, with Auditors encountering poor internet network connectivity due to the structural design of many establishments.<br/><br/>Tenders are invited to provide a digital solution to meet the needs of conducting a remote audit in a regulated environment. The solution will be required to work in partnership with Food Business Operators (FBO), who are wholly independent of the FSA, due to that the software should be able to use in any phone, table and computer.
