Notice Information

Notice Title

Biodiversity strategy for the food and drink sector

Notice Description

Food production can cause biodiversity loss by reducing the quality of, and through direct conversion of, natural and semi-natural habitats, which reduces the available area as well as causing fragmentation of habitats. Use of pesticides and fertilisers can reduce biodiversity on farms, including in soils and on-farm habitats, and in the wider landscape; farmers and growers often see a conflict between biodiversity and economic productivity. WWF-UK and Tesco are in partnership with an overall goal to reduce the environmental impact of the average UK shopping basket by 50%. The partnership encompasses a range of issues such as climate change, seafood, commodities, deforestation, landscapes, and water. As part of this partnership, WWF-UK would like to commission a study to review what an appropriate biodiversity strategy could be for the food and drink sector (using Tesco as the demonstrator) to help address the problem statement above and establish the role the sector has in restoring nature in food production. Please submit your proposal to Conor Linstead (clinstead@wwf.org.uk) no later than 12 noon on Monday, 16th November. Your proposal must contain: - Your approach and proposed methodology to address the fundamental questions raised and suggested approaches - An analysis of how you fulfil the required skill set - Names and CVs of all staff who will work on the consultancy, and proposed roles - A fee proposal including: o Total days and day rates for each member of staff who will work on the consultancy o Any travel/ancillary costs o Your VAT status with VAT, if applicable, clearly identified Please note that the budget for this work is PS35,000 including VAT. Please note that any new engagement which fall inside IR35 after 5th April 2021 will need to be contracted on an employment contract.
