This procurement process falls under the category of procurement consultancy services, is managed via an open procurement method, and is currently in the active tender stage. The deadline for submissions is 23rd August 2018, with the study's contract period commencing from 24th September 2018 to 7th December 2018. Interested parties should note that the selected contract value ranges from £25,000 to £50,000 and is likely to be well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the food supply chain, particularly those focused on local sourcing and sustainability. Companies specialising in procurement consultancy as well as food supply, especially SMEs, are encouraged to participate. By addressing the barriers to local sourcing and identifying effective supply chain practices, successful tenderers can potentially expand their market reach and client base within national retail chains and food manufacturing sectors. ## Notice The objectives of this study are to provide an understanding of: * current sourcing and supply chain practices in the UK to supply local food products within the bakery, dairy, fresh produce, and meat sectors into convenience stores owned or franchised by national retailers, and food manufacturers; * supply chain practices that are working well and enabling local sourcing, and the barriers to the further uptake of local sourcing; and * the opportunities to increase local food sourcing. The scope of this study is not intended to include local sourcing into individual retailers / points of sale (e.g. farm shops, markets, 'corner shops' etc). Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. This procurement will be managed electronically through the Delta eSourcing suite.
