Summary of the contracting process

WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature Trading Limited) is seeking proposals for the "Tesco-WWF Innovation Fund supplier/innovator engagement" project, focusing on research and development services within the agricultural sector in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 17th September 2021. The project aims to connect Tesco suppliers with innovators working on sustainable solutions for animal feed and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The anticipated contract period will commence on 27th September 2021 and continue until 31st January 2022, with a budget ranging between £15,000 and £30,000, including VAT.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in agricultural services and those with innovative solutions to engage with a major retailer. Companies specialising in research and development, agricultural consultancy, and those with established networks of innovators are particularly well-suited to compete. By fostering relationships between suppliers and innovators, businesses can leverage this engagement to scale their products within supply chains, thereby enhancing their growth prospects in the competitive landscape of sustainable practices within the food system.

Notice Title

Tesco-WWF Innovation Fund supplier/innovator engagement

Notice Description

To help us progress our work with the WWF-Tesco Innovation Fund (full background below) we are looking for an external party to help us facilitate interactions between key Tesco suppliers and innovators who have solutions around two priority topics: animal feed, reducing GHG emissions on farm and agricultural nature-based solutions. Critical to the success of a proposal will be a demonstrated ability to bring in a network of relevant innovators as a key aspect to the project, as well as the ability to communicate and influence through established networks on innovation and the importance to achieving changes to the food system. The facilitation (or 'match making') should allow key Tesco suppliers to connect and build relationships with innovators that they might not have come across. We hope that in a handful of instances, this will lead to the development of a clear plan to scale up an innovator's solution in a supplier's own operations and/or supply chain. We anticipate the facilitation will take the form of one or two online events (e.g. 1-2 hours each), however we very much welcome ideas on how this can be done most effectively. Although we have already identified some innovators that we could invite, a key element of this work will be leveraging your strong network of relevant innovators. All innovators should have a product or concept that is approved and ready to go, and needs scaling in a 'real life' supply chain. Outputs, timing and budget * Delivery of an effective process that results in a competitive application for use of the Innovation Fund resources. * The available budget for delivery of this work is ~PS15k-PS30k. including VAT. * The goal is to have this project kick off in late September, with identification of successful proposals in January/February 2021. Project governance and response instructions This project is being initiated by WWF-UK and Tesco, with input from expert advisors. We invite proposals from interested parties. Proposals should be maximum 6 pages in length and include: * Your approach and proposed method to address the Objectives, Scope and Outputs. * A project plan detailing proposed scope and timeframes. * Details of relevant experience. * A fee proposal including total days and day rates for each member of staff who will work on the project, and any non-staff/travel/ancillary costs. * Names and CVs of all staff who will work on the project, and proposed roles (can be beyond the 6 pages). Deadline for submission: Friday 17th September 2021 Decision to be made/consultant appointed by: Friday 24th September 2021
