## Summary

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has awarded a contract for the audit of the display of food hygiene ratings and an associated business attitudes survey. The procurement process, under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, covered locations including the United Kingdom and several other territories. The tender process, conducted through an open procedure above the threshold, culminated in an award on 12 August 2024, with the contract period set from 12 August 2024 to 31 March 2027. Key dates included the tender period ending on 16 June 2024. This tender was valued at £359,986 and is now in the award stage.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in research and development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this area. Engaging in such contracts can help these businesses establish long-term partnerships with government authorities, such as the FSA, and enhance their reputation in the consultancy landscape. Successful tenders like this can open doors to further opportunities within the public procurement sector.

## Notice

The FSA wishes to recommission a representative audit of the display of food hygiene rating stickers at food business premises in England, Wales and Northern Ireland which are publicly accessible, and an accompanying audit of online rating display. The FSA also wishes to recommission an associated survey of food businesses in the three countries to assess attitudes towards and understanding of the Scheme, and the perceived impact of the Scheme on businesses.
