In plain English
The Food Standards Agency wants to buy a specialised software tool, called an Exposure Assessment Tool (EAT), that estimates how much of different foods people eat and how much they are exposed to food safety risks. The tool must work with UK dietary survey data such as the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) and Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children (DNSIYC). The estimated value is £125,000.
What the buyer wants
• Supply a specialised software tool that can use UK dietary survey data (such as NDNS and DNSIYC) to carry out a range of consumption and exposure assessments for food safety risk assessment. • Provide reliable technical support throughout the contract. • Provide training for FSA staff throughout the contract.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice requires a specialised software tool that can process UK dietary survey data, plus technical support and training for the full contract period, so a small business without software development capability or ongoing support resources would most likely be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
