## Summary

The procurement process for the "Animal Feed Audit IT System" was carried out by Food Standards Scotland (FSS) based in Aberdeen, UK. The tender was part of an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to ESRI (UK) for the provision of an IT solution for feed premises database and mobile app solutions. Key dates included contract signing on 27th March 2024.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially those in the technology and services sector, to provide IT solutions for official control recording and database management. Businesses with expertise in GIS systems and software development would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders in the future. The procurement stage involved limited competition due to technical requirements that only ESRI (UK) could meet, offering a unique combination of products that other bidders could not match.

### Procurement Information

Esri UK Ltd were awarded the contract to provide an IT solution for the provision of a feed premises database and associated mobile app solutions for Official Control recording in 2019 following competitive tender. The FMIS that was developed from 2019 enabled FSS to maintain an updated database of registered and approved feed premises and to enable feed officers to record inspections from mid-2021 following transfer of legal competence for feed to FSS and resumption of inspections following Covid. The system has been in use since 2019 for maintenance of the feed premises register and since 2021 for feed official control planning, delivery and reporting. No other bidder in 2019 was able to offer the mobile app and GIS function offered by Esri UK Ltd, and FSS is not aware of any supplier currently able to provide a similar combination of products. ArcGIS Online is also used by other FSS branches, and other Scottish Government departments, with FSS committed to ongoing joint licensing agreements with Esri UK Ltd as the sole supplier of ArcGIS Onlline. Discussions were held with Corporate Service in October/November 23 regarding this contract which addressed and rationalised the number of ArcGIS Online users across FSS with a view to renewal of ArcGIS Online subscriptions for 24/25. Non feed users were included in a joint agreement between Esri UK Ltd and Scottish Government through an Enterprise Licence Agreement (ELA), with a separate renewal quote for feed being received in January 24. Pending confirmation of user numbers during the DSLA extension negotiations, the PO request was delayed and notification of NCA requirement was received by Feed Delivery Branch on 8th March 24. The NCA is required to cover the subscription renewals and consultancy for 2024/25 and 2025/26 to ensure continued access to FMIS for all users to complete official control recording. Further discussion with Corporate Services will ensure procurement process is followed in subsequent years to align with SG ELA covering both feed and non-feed users of ArcGIS Online.
