## Summary

The Sheffield City Council has completed the procurement process for "Food Intervention Inspections" services. The Council aimed to contract with multiple organisations to conduct scheduled and reactive food safety inspections in line with statutory requirements and Food Standards Agency guidelines. The inspections are essential for ensuring food hygiene and safety across the city. Due to resource limitations, third-party inspectors assist in carrying out a significant number of lower-risk inspections. The Council's Food Safety Service programme is executed throughout the financial year, with some inspections outsourced to meet demand.

This tender for food intervention inspections by Sheffield City Council presents business growth opportunities for organisations providing hygiene services. Businesses dealing with food safety compliance, hygiene services, and regulatory inspections would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The active status and multi-year contract period provide a stable revenue stream for successful suppliers, such as Buckingham Futures and Osborne Richardson, who are already actively involved in delivering these services. Furthermore, the selective procurement method and electronic submission process offer a structured and competitive framework for interested suppliers to engage with the Council's requirements efficiently.

## Notice

The Council is looking to contract with a number of organisations to deliver a schedule of programmed inspections in line with Food Standards Agency guidance and dealing with any reactive work such as complaints and other intelligence that may be received regarding food safety issues in the City. These inspections make up part of the Council's Food Safety Service to deliver Official Controls and meet other statutory duties and functions under food hygiene and safety legislation. Many of the inspections are carried out by the in-house team however, due to the large number of premises across the city, and some historical backlogs of inspections, there are insufficient resources within the Council to undertake all the inspections. Therefore, much of the lower risk inspections (approximately 1500-2000) are carried are undertaken by 3rd party inspectors.
