This project is classified under the services industry, specifically focusing on research and development services. The procurement is in the active tender stage, with bids due by 12:00 on 12th October 2020. The project is slated to commence as soon as possible in October 2020 and is expected to conclude by 19th December 2020, with delivery to be undertaken in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, especially those with expertise in environmental research, agriculture, or trade policy analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) are particularly encouraged to apply, as they may possess the agile methodologies required to fulfil the project's aims. Bidders should be prepared to present a detailed methodology, relevant experience, and a comprehensive budget, making this a suitable opportunity for businesses capable of delivering sustainable, high-impact research projects within a defined timeframe. ## Notice WWF is newly working on a trade policy, at the top level, to ensure that the UK Government's emerging trade policy does not undermine the achievement of climate and nature goals at home or via our wider footprint. There are ongoing public and political campaigns to maintain and build on the UK's current food and farming standards. The campaigns are high profile and specifically focused on not weakening food import standards in negotiations with US, Aus , NZ, or Canada. The environmental justification for the overall work on trade is clear, but the direct impact of current food standards on the environment is less well understood and a gap that WWF needs to urgently address. Project timeline and application requirements Date for project to start: asap in October 2020 Date for project to end: 19th December 2020 Bid for the work should include: * Approach for completion of the project * Relevant experience (and case studies of similar previous work if applicable) * CVs of consultants who will participate in the project * A precise budget broken down by key tasks, including consultant daily rates * The estimated number of person-days required * A detailed timeline for delivery The application should be no longer than 4 sides, plus CVs of participating consultants attached in an appendix. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9cee522f-cc36-4664-9272-3bb6be0f4cc6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Oct 2020 - 19 Dec 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 77100000 - Agricultural services ## Release History - 1 Oct 2020 at 15:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9cee522f-cc36-4664-9272-3bb6be0f4cc6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9cee522f-cc36-4664-9272-3bb6be0f4cc6 1st October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/799660e5-323c-4e82-9111-d06d5ee3dd09 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
