How much does Food Standards Scotland (FSS) spend on contracts?

- Took on 2 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Has not published end dates for its contracts: None of its 20 contracts gives an end date on the award notice.
- Most recent award: recorded 12 Aug 2026 (3 months ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
