Tender description

Imported food helps to ensure food availability and variety in the UK. The food imported to the UK meets strict standards and is subject to a robust sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) control system, that includes a range of things from certification to border controls. The FSA is also interested in imported food production standards related to animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and nutritional composition, given the consumer interest in these topics.

About the buyer

The Food Standards Agency is a non-ministerial central government department, and a commercial team runs its procurement. Every tender is advertised through the Health Family Single eCommercial System, known as Atamis, with larger opportunities also appearing on Find a Tender. Contracts Finder lists smaller opportunities separately. Crown Commercial Service and Government Commercial Service frameworks cover some procurements, with the call-off contract included in the tender. Standard contract terms scale with value, up to a model services contract for the largest projects. Suppliers register on Atamis to express interest and submit responses electronically.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Food Standards Agency's contract awards have been in research and development, business services and software and information systems.
