UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Waste & Resources Action Programme bought analytical support for its Policy, Research and Data team. The work covers managing, quality-assuring, analysing and reporting food waste data submitted by businesses taking part in UK and global food waste reporting initiatives. The supplier works closely with a senior analyst and provides research, analysis and related consultancy services. The requirement is a service delivered across the United Kingdom. It is relevant to consultancies and specialist data providers with experience of business food waste reporting, environmental data, data quality assurance, analytical research and clear reporting for policy or programme teams. The buying organisation is Waste & Resources Action Programme, a public undertaking based in Banbury. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the FRA083 framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Axion for the single lot. The award was made through a competitive selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 7 September to 4 December 2026, with an option to extend by up to two weeks to 18 December 2026; the extension adds time but no funding. The awarded contract value is £16,320 gross, in pounds sterling. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation was competitive, although the published information does not state the individual scoring criteria or weightings. Axion is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist support in business food waste data, rather than general waste services. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can manage submissions from businesses participating in several reporting initiatives, apply robust quality assurance, analyse data accurately and turn findings into useful reports. The work also calls for close collaboration with a senior analyst and an understanding of how data supports policy, research and programme decisions. Relevant suppliers include environmental consultancies, food-system data specialists, research organisations and analytical firms with strong reporting capability. Experience spanning both UK and global reporting contexts would align particularly well with the requirement. The modest, focused assignment indicates that a small or medium-sized specialist provider can be a credible competitor.
