Summary of the contracting process

WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited is procuring research services for its Seafood Jurisdictional Initiative. The requirement is for a supplier to deliver the services described in the tender specification, supporting WWF-UK’s work through research related to seafood jurisdictions. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply or construction contract. Businesses should review the tender specification to understand the precise research outputs, methodology and deliverables required. The buyer is WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited, based in Woking, England. The opportunity is relevant to organisations providing research services in the seafood, environmental, sustainability or related policy fields.

The process has reached tender: WWF-UK invited suppliers to express interest and submit proposals through a competitive quotation procedure below the threshold. Suppliers were asked to express interest by 13 September 2026 at 23:00; tender invitations were then to be issued through the Coupa procurement platform. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 8 December 2026. The tender is for services classified as research services. Proposals may require forms, attachments, pricing information and details of the supplier’s products or services. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender specification sets out the detailed requirement and forms the basis for preparing a proposal.

This opportunity suits research consultancies, specialist seafood researchers, environmental organisations and sustainability advisers able to deliver a focused research assignment in the United Kingdom. It is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller organisations and mission-led suppliers can compete. Relevant capability may include research design, evidence gathering, analysis and reporting concerning seafood systems, jurisdictions, environmental impacts or related policy issues. Suppliers should be able to respond to a tender specification and prepare a complete proposal, including any required forms, attachments, pricing information and service details. The procurement platform is Coupa, so bidders must be able to submit their proposal and supporting information electronically through that system.
