PROJECT PURPOSE AND SCOPE The WWF-Tesco partnership is looking to commission a consultant / subject matter expert / organisation, or consortium, to conduct research and advise on a methodology for baselining and monitoring biodiversity in Tesco's supply chain. This project should ideally enable Tesco to comply with at a minimum, current and emerging guidance on Science-Based Targets for Nature, the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures and relevant biodiversity policy developments, for example, Local Nature Recovery Strategies (for England only). The emphasis of the findings and outcomes should be on scalability across a retailer supply chain. KEY OUTPUTS: 1. A comprehensive report (ideally no more than 40 pages) in word and pdf format containing key findings of step 1 and 2. The report should include infographics where relevant. Any additional information beyond the 40 pages can be included in separate appendices or documents. The proposal should identify if the report can be designed in house and the associated cost. 2. A shorter public report (no more than 15 pages) sharing general findings and a biodiversity monitoring framework that could be used by other supply chain actors (particularly retailers). The proposal should identify if the report can be designed in house and the associated cost. 3. Shareable biodiversity data in relation to Tesco's supply chains that can be used to comply with SBTn (if Step 3 is conducted). 4. A presentation of the findings internally to the WWF/Tesco partnership team. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1112c2bf-2420-4802-a369-581cd9d9278e | | 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 | 28 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Jul 2023 - 13 Oct 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,000 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 28 Jun 2023 at 07:43 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1112c2bf-2420-4802-a369-581cd9d9278e - 8 Jun 2023 at 08:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1112c2bf-2420-4802-a369-581cd9d9278e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1112c2bf-2420-4802-a369-581cd9d9278e 28th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/874185f4-a8ce-4060-a9b1-20c2e9d77d04 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c3c6452e-2a83-447b-ae8d-6f7930b46c34 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/82b2b8d5-ea7c-4f48-be15-d9bdb3f6aadf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0408318d-efc1-403e-abfd-0635788ce490 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1efeb212-a577-4392-88e8-03db85cc1810 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f5edb292-41af-4d9e-b672-4c64fce5b20d ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
