## Summary

The Food Standards Agency is conducting an award for the tender titled "FS125019 - Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) Review and Update." This process falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a contract period starting from 9 January 2019 and ending on 7 July 2019. The procurement method used was a Restricted Tender (Non-OJEU) and the tender period concluded on 7 December 2018. The project aims to review and update guidelines related to food business compliance across various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those engaged in consultancy and advisory services relevant to food safety and compliance, to contribute to the important work of the Food Standards Agency. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to participate, given the agency’s openness to a diverse range of suppliers. Engaging in this process can lead to potential business growth by fostering partnerships with a significant government entity and expanding services in the food industry.

## Notice

The FSA's Safer food, better business (SFBB) packs are due for their three-year review. The purpose of this is to review the current guidance and, working with policy teams from across the FSA, ensure all information is current and in line with the most recent policy developments. This is not a whole scale review of the design/layout or the provision of SFBB in a digital format. As we move towards the delivery of the Regulating Our Future priorities the need to complete this update is critically important to continue to support food business compliance.
