This initiative falls within the research and consultancy services category, primarily targeting the environmental impact of food production and consumption in the UK. The tender is set to conclude on 1 April 2022 at 17:00. The resulting contract is anticipated to commence on 11 April 2022 and last until 11 June 2022. Interested parties should respond to Carmel Edwards, Senior Policy Advisor at WWF-UK, for clarifications and proposal submissions. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses operating within research and consultancy, especially those focused on environmental issues, agricultural production, and sustainability practices. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as the WWF-UK seeks stakeholders capable of providing insights into mitigating the environmental footprint of the food sector. With the UK aiming to achieve significant goals by 2030 and 2050 related to biodiversity and carbon neutrality, firms with expertise in data analysis, impact assessments, and stakeholder engagement will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Last year WWF-UK published a UK Global Footprint report that calculated the extent to which the UK needs to reduce the environmental impact of UK production and consumption by 2030 in order to remain within planetary limits. WWF-UK is now looking to commission a follow up report to calculate the UK food sector's contribution to the UK's global footprint and identify those stakeholder actions (e.g. consumer, farmer/fisher, business, government) that can best achieve the necessary reductions in this to achieve WWF-UK's goals. WWF-UK is calling for research consultant proposals to deliver technical and summary reports answering the research questions: 1) What is the 'food footprint' of the UK (and England, Wales and Scotland) - i.e. the contribution of the UK/nations' food system to the UK's global footprint (the environmental pressures and impact of UK production and consumption)? 2) What should the UK (and England, Wales and Scotland) food footprint reduction targets be for 2030 and 2050 to align with the targets of a) reducing the UK's Global Footprint by three-quarters by 2030, b) achieving UK net-zero by 2050 and c) halting and reversing the loss of UK biodiversity by 2030? 3) What are the relative impacts of stakeholder actions (inc. consumers, farmers/fishers, businesses, governments) to reduce the UK's food footprint? 4) What are the economic, social, health and environmental cost-benefits of these actions and the jeopardy of stakeholders not taking them? 5) What is the relative potential impact of each stakeholder group to reduce the UK's food footprint? Please refer to the attached Request for Proposals document for full details of the intended scope and deliverables, and for information about how to respond to this opportunity. Responses and clarification questions should be directed to Carmel Edwards, Senior Policy Advisor, (email CEdwards@wwf.org.uk). We request that all responses are returned to us by 17:00 on 01 April.
