Total Quantity or Scope

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) is the public sector food body for Scotland. It was established by the Food (Scotland) Act 2015 as a non-ministerial office, part of the Scottish Administration, working alongside, but separate from, the Scottish Government. FSS became independent from the UK Food Standards Agency on 1 April 2015. Our primary concern is consumer protection – making sure that food is safe to eat: ensuring consumers know what they are eating and improving nutrition. With that in mind, we have approximately 80 FSS personnel and around 80 contract staff working in abattoirs and cutting plants throughout Scotland ensuring compliance within the Meat Sector. The Service Provider will be required to supply a Work Wear and Laundry service for only FSS personnel (not the contract staff) to carry out their duties in a hygienic and safe manner throughout Scotland. The Requirement The Service Provider shall provide the following services:- - Provision of hired protective work wear - Fully managed collection and drop off service throughout the Scottish network of FSS designated premises - Fully managed Laundry service of the hired protective work wear throughout the whole year, including all Scottish bank holiday periods - Repair/alteration service - Managed administration service - Customer helpline/support
