## Summary

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is initiating an open tender titled "FS404003 Reformulating Cheesecake" aimed at developing technical guidance for manufacturing reformulated cheesecake. This procurement process is classified under research and development services and related consultancy services, with a contract value of £20,000. The tender period is set to conclude on 18 March 2021, while the contract period will commence on 19 April 2021 and conclude on 10 September 2021. The successful applicant will conduct a workshop involving food business representatives, with flexibility in format depending on COVID-19 restrictions. The FSA will be responsible for collaboration and agreement on the workshop's delivery format. The primary delivery locations include the United Kingdom and various British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the food manufacturing and consultancy sectors, particularly those specialising in service provision for the food industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their innovative approaches can enhance the quality and nutritional content of cheesecake products. Companies involved in restaurant and café operations, as well as those specialising in cheesecake production, will find this tender particularly relevant to their expertise and business growth prospects.

## Notice

The FSA are asking Knowledge Providers to create technical guidance for manufacturing reformulated cheesecake (based on the findings from the Nutritional content of cheesecake survey9). The successful applicant will also be required to host a workshop with at least 20 food business representatives involved in the manufacture or preparation of cheesecake from scratch e.g., restaurants, cafes or cheesecake manufacturers to showcase the technical guidance with taste testing. Ideally, the technical workshop will be hosted using a 'physical' format, however, the format the workshop will take ('physical' or 'virtual') will be dependent on COVID-19 restrictions. The FSA will collaborate with the successful applicant to agree the most appropriate forum to deliver the workshop.
