Lot Information

Lot 1

To lead the recruitment and support the implementation of five, 2-day citizens juries, each with 16-18 participants of diverse backgrounds, across the UK (provisionally rural Cumbria, Glasgow, Leicester, London, and Rhyl). The purpose is to discuss research and policy recommendations that will enable the UK's food system to help achieve Net Zero targets while also improving population health. The research team will design the citizens' juries, finalise the location details, facilitate each jury, and analyse the research data. However, a supplier is needed for the following key tasks: 1. Recruit 18 participants to each of the five juries, via phone-call or on-street recruitment methods. The juries will use a mini-public design, so participant groups should be broadly representative of the local populations in terms of: - Gender - Ethnicity - Age - Socio-economic status - Political preferences 2. Process compensation payments to the participants to cover their time and travel. To ensure the process is as inclusive as possible, participants should be given the option to receive payments by bank transfer, cash on the day or vouchers. 3. Attend each jury to welcome and assist participants on-site, including making cash or voucher payments.
