This initiative is taking place in the Orkney Islands over a three-year period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028. The procurement process is in the award stage, but the award itself was recently marked as unsuccessful. Previously, during the tender stage, proposals were due by 14 July 2025, with submissions handled electronically. The total contract value was anticipated to be £250,000 under an open procurement procedure, fully compliant with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in food hygiene, safety, and standards. It offers a chance to engage with local government and establish a presence in the Orkney market. The procurement process encourages competition based on quality and price with a balanced assessment on service delivery, project management, and cost. Enterprises capable of efficiently managing routine inspections and post-inspection reporting would find this proposal attractive, particularly those experienced in adhering to complex regulatory frameworks such as food law compliance. Additionally, businesses ready to handle electronic submissions and electronic invoicing will align well with the council's procurement preferences. ## Notice Orkney Islands Council as the Competent Food Authority for the County of Orkney is inviting tenders for the provision of programmed food law interventions at food businesses throughout the county of Orkney.
