## Summary

The Erewash Borough Council has completed the procurement process for a tender titled "Tender for the provision of food safety inspections". This contract, falling under the sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services category, involved the provision of an inspector for a specified number of food safety inspections (250) across category C and D rated premises located in the East Midlands. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically a competitive quotation process below threshold. The contract service period commenced on 21st June 2021 and will last until 20th April 2022. Initial interest in the tender was published on 17th May 2021, with the application deadline closing on 2nd June 2021.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in environmental services and food safety inspection. Companies with expertise in conducting quality inspections and compliance assessments in food hygiene will find this contract particularly suited to their skills. Given the potential for additional inspections beyond the original contract amount, businesses that can demonstrate capacity and timely service delivery within the specified periods stand a good chance of securing this work and expanding their client base.
