Summary of the contracting process

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has completed a procurement process for a research study titled "FS303019 - Understanding Consumer Values," classified under the CPV code for Design and execution of research and development. The contract was awarded on 27 September 2018, with a total value of £41,575 and a contract period spanning from 1 October 2018 to 31 March 2019. This project focuses on assessing consumer attitudes towards food safety, pricing, and variety in the aftermath of the UK's exit from the EU. The work is primarily based in the South East of England, targeting consumers in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 7 September 2018.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in market research and consumer analysis to compete for contracts with government agencies. Companies engaged in data analytics, consumer behaviour studies, and related research services would be particularly well-suited to respond. By understanding the FSA's focus on consumer values and preferences, prospective suppliers can tailor their proposals to meet the specific needs of the agency, thereby enhancing their chances of success in future tenders within the services industry.

Notice Title

FS303019 - Understanding Consumer Values

Notice Description

The FSA has been tracking consumer attitudes towards food related topics and trust in the FSA and food system for several years. With the FSA increasing its risk assessment capabilities there is a growing need to gather evidence on consumer attitudes, priorities and preferences and understand potential trade-offs. The FSA are proposing a quantitative study to understand how consumers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland rate the relative importance of key concerns (safety, price and variety) after the UK leaves the EU. We have evidence from our EU tracker research which shows that consumers are concerned about these areas. The research will also seek to explore consumer preferences and views on acceptability of potential new food items.
