Description

The Food Standards Agency is a non-ministerial government department of over 1300 people, with a big vision - to drive change in the food system so that it delivers "food we can trust". As the country has now left the EU, the scale of this challenge cannot be underestimated. More than 90% of food and feed law in the UK currently comes from Europe and our primary goal is to continue to protect public health and UK consumers' wider interest in food
(https://www.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/media/document/food-we-can-trust.pdf)

Our Digital services are supported by several specialist delivery partners providing Cloud Hosting, End Point Management, Service Desk, Network Connectivity Management, Application Support, Telephony and Videoconferencing. At the heart of that arrangement is an internal team with the knowledge of our business, our systems, and our obligations to enable them to integrate and manage the quality of our services. Key to the success of this multi-vendor model is Support Partner willingness and commitment to work in partnership, collaborating autonomously with other third-party suppliers within a culture of trust and shared goals.

The Food Standards Agency is seeking a Provider who can provide and support a Data Integration, Sharing & Publishing Platform that is a resilient, scalable and offers a cloud-based solution for publishing data. It should be able to host data and be available as a fully hosted and managed enterprise solution.
