The evaluation will explore both the impact and the process of FLRS, considering capacity to apply the scheme, how it has affected business compliance and barriers and successes of its implementation. The findings from the evaluation will inform an ongoing piece of work at FSS which seeks to rebuild the food law enforcement delivery model in Scotland. FSS have an array of evidence collected during the lifetime of the scheme, and have pre-established contacts with those who currently deliver the scheme. FSS will work collaboratively with a Supplier to develop the evaluation, but require a Supplier to lead on the data collection and analysis.",
