Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Ballmer Brazil In-Country Technical and Strategy Consultancy Services" was initiated by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), based in Banbury, UK. The procurement aimed to appoint a leader in Brazil to partner with WWF Brazil on a food-waste reduction initiative. The process was open to competitive tenders from 18 August 2025 until 12 September 2025, with the project anticipated to commence on 29 September 2025. However, the procurement was cancelled on 24 October 2025 after WRAP received a single submission that did not meet operational or strategic needs, as per the evaluation against the published criteria.

This tender presented an opportunity for consultancies specialising in technical and strategic advisory services within the business and management sectors, especially those with strong ties and experience in Brazil. Despite its cancellation, similar future tenders can offer growth prospects for businesses with expertise in designing and managing collaborative international projects, particularly those capable of delivering innovative solutions in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with the relevant experience in the sector could be well-positioned to compete effectively in such tenders.
