Summary of the contracting process

The WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited is conducting an open procurement process for a research study titled "Dependencies of food system transformation on changes in the wider economy and society." This initiative aims to identify how changes outside the food sector influence sustainability and to offer insights into managing these challenges. Interested parties should submit their proposals by the closing date of 19th August 2019. The main procurement category is services, specifically in research and environmental impact assessment, with a budget ranging from £5,000 to £10,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, environmental consultancy, and related fields. Companies with expertise in analysing the interplay between economic trends and food systems will be particularly well-suited to compete, as the project seeks to develop methodologies to address unsustainable practices within the global and UK food systems. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, reflecting WWF's commitment to inclusivity in its contracting processes.

Notice Title

Research Study opportunity: Dependencies of food system transformation on changes in the wider economy and society

Notice Description

Dependencies of food system transformation on changes in the wider economy and society: Desktop study to develop a conceptual model to inform WWF's priorities and to influence opinion leaders WWF has set out an ambition to transform the food system so that it restores rather than degrades nature, while providing food and nutritional security. Our goal is for the UK to lead the changes in the ways that food is produced and consumed so that nature is restored, which benefits people and our planet in the long-term. Our focus is on three main outcomes: There is a tendency in thinking about food system transformation to think about factors within the food sector and to ignore the fact that some of the problems of the food system can only be solved by changes in the wider economy and society and not by changes in food production and consumption alone. As a contribution to identifying a path to such a transformation, WWF has identified the dependencies of the food system on processes in the wider economy and society as a potentially important issue. WWF would like to offer some thought leadership in this area. WWF would like this study to assess whether there are important causes of unsustainability in both the global and UK food systems that lie in the wider social and economic system, outside the food sector, which must be addressed if a transformation of the food system that restores the natural environment is to be achieved If such wider causes are present, WWF would like to understand the causes and assess how WWF as a global network, and WWF-UK in particular, might usefully intervene to address these causes. Additional information: To respond to this opportunity, interested parties should set out their proposed approach and methodology, their relevant experience and full costs and expenses. All Responses should be submitted to llee@wwf.org.uk by Close of Business on 9th August 2019.
