Notice Title

Consultancy Opportunity: Development of an 'Innovation Index' to drive sustainability in the food system

Notice Description

The aim of this work is to identify a long list of late-stage, market-ready innovations relevant to the food industry (the 'Innovation Index') that have the potential to drive sustainability impact at scale. The innovations should have very significant environmental benefits against a key set of criteria and should be ready to be applied in a real-world supply chain context. Each innovation should be described and evaluated to help prioritise the most promising, including suggestions on how the innovations might be scaled and what environmental impact this could lead to. A key purpose of the Innovation Index is to support WWF, Tesco and other supporting third parties to make decisions around the use of funding via the WWF-Tesco partnership into potentially game-changing innovations. However, the intention is also to make a version of the Index publicly available in order to maximise its impact. WWF welcomes proposals from suitably qualified organisations. Please refer to the attached Terms of Reference for further information. Responses should be sent by email to Procurement@wwf.org.uk Deadline for submission: Monday 2nd March 2020. Additional information: Responses should be sent by email to Procurement@wwf.org.uk Deadline for submission: Monday 2nd March 2020.
