## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme in Banbury is seeking tenders for the project titled "Farmer-led food waste data gathering pilots." This initiative is set within the agricultural industry and aims to gather critical data on food waste in primary production, specifically targeting the apple, carrot, egg, tomato, and wheat sectors. The procurement has been classified under the CPV code for cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, with an overall contract value ranging from £50,000 to £100,000. Interested parties should submit their proposals by 12 November 2018, with the contract period commencing on 10 December 2018 and concluding on 31 January 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in agricultural services and sustainable practices, particularly those involved in waste management and data analytics. By collaborating in small peer groups, businesses can aid farmers in monitoring performance and identifying productivity gains, thereby contributing to the reduction of food waste. Companies with expertise in agricultural practices, data collection, and environmental sustainability would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, allowing them to expand their service offerings while contributing to vital agricultural initiatives.
