Presumably there would be some sort of database or table for the items

a better source for generating the feed.

I can export the various fields, unfortunately all the HTML tags on
product descriptions etc are exported as well.

That can be cleaned up easily. I probably misunderstood your first
request, I thought you wanted to have a Froogle -> RSS feed for one reason
or another. Not that you were looking for a way to add an RSS feed to your
own site containing the products on your own site.

The problem really lies with lack of URL of each specific product, this
can change as items are added or deleted because the site creation
software then re-creates all the pages.

Sounds like your site creation software is severely broke.

It has served it's purpose for many years, but is indeed in need of a
more up to date solution, I just haven't found the right one yet.

If it generates static files from a database / textfile(s), I also can be
hired to do stuff like that ;-)

Examples are: http://johnbokma.com/ (generated from XML files)
http://castleamber.com/ (generated from a single txt file)

Depending on complexity 4-8 hrs would be a (very) rough estimate. My SEO
experience will be included, of course :-D.

Strangely I wouldn't have thought otherwise.

When It starts generating it's pages, the first thing it says is
"saving XML data (or files or something) it also has an option to
export XML data whether that is of any use to me I have no idea.

4 to 8 hours for which part? I'm lost already.

Generating a site from database/textfile(s) statically.
