This planned procurement is classified under the goods category and is currently in the planning stage. Key dates include the expected communication of future notices on 1st February 2019. The procurement is located in Glenrothes, UK and aims to enhance service efficiency through modern technology and compliance with recent allergen legislation. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in technology solutions for public services, particularly those with experience in catering management systems and nutritional analysis software. Companies that can demonstrate innovative approaches to streamline catering operations or those that can fulfil the regulatory requirements related to food safety and nutritional standards would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this opportunity could enable businesses to expand their footprint within the public sector and establish long-term partnerships with local authorities. ## Notice Fife Council's 'Catering Live' system was developed in-house approximately 14 years ago and no longer meets the changing needs of the service or supports new technology that could offer cost savings or better Council capabilities. The system is the Service's catering database which is used for financial purposes, providing performance indicators and unit performance tables. The system is at "end of life" and requires to be replaced. Alongside Catering Live, we utilise a hosted system 'Nutmeg', this nutritionally analyses recipes and menus. It is extremely labour intensive and is also no longer fit for purpose, given the new allergen legislation and the extension to incorporate the care sector and nursery provision. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Fife Council's 'Catering Live' system was developed in-house approximately 14 years ago and no longer meets the changing needs of the service or supports new technology that could offer cost savings or better Council capabilities.
