## Summary

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) is seeking to enhance its food safety initiatives through the procurement of an "Online Decision Tool," aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This project falls under the general public services category and is located in Aberdeen, UK. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract value set at £22,164, signed on 7th August 2020. The open tender invites participation from suppliers and aims to deliver up-to-date guidance informed by scientific research and legislation, contributing to the strategic goals of the FSS.
