## Summary

The Food Standards Agency has completed the procurement process for the "Behavioural Trial - Handwashing", which involved delivering five trials by the end of March 2022. The contract, valued at £189,615, falls under the research and development services category and was awarded to TNS UK Ltd (trading as Kantar Public). The contract period spanned from 29 November 2021 to 31 March 2022. The procurement was initiated through a tendering process, with a procurement method described as "Other - Calling off from an existing call off contract".

This tender represents a growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) looking to engage in research and development services, particularly in behavioural trials relating to health and safety practices. Businesses with expertise in trial methodologies, consumer behaviour research, or food safety compliance would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, thereby enhancing their market presence while contributing to public health initiatives.
