The tender, titled "Invitation for Proposals on retailer led interventions in farm stage food loss and waste," falls under the agricultural industry category. The opportunity is located in the United Kingdom and is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 30th November 2021. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with a budget range of £40,000 to £50,000. The contract period is set to commence on 13th December 2021 and will run until 23rd December 2022. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural consultancy, sustainability practices, and environmental services. Firms that can demonstrate relevant expertise in designing and implementing interventions to reduce food waste, particularly in dairy, poultry, and grain sectors, would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, are encouraged to apply, as they may bring innovative solutions that align with the objectives of managing food loss within the supply chain. ## Notice WWF-UK and Tesco are working to reduce the scale and impact of farm stage food loss and waste (FLW). In order to enable this, we are calling on retailers to alter practices and policies which contribute to driving levels of food loss occurring on farms. We are seeking an experienced consultant to help us design, facilitate and analysis a number of retailer led interventions in farm stage food loss. The work would include working with WWF-UK and Tesco's FLW and Sustainable Agriculture teams to scope out potential interventions, then designing, implementing and monitoring interventions and measuring the impact of the intervention on loss rates. The work will span a range of commodities and supply chains. The consultant should be able to demonstrate expertise in agriculture to design and facilitate the interventions and monitor their impact on food loss rates on farm. For example, an area we are interested in exploring is reducing the loss rates in dairy farming due to withdrawal of milk during and after antibiotic use. Once engaged the consultant would lead efforts to exploring the potential methods of enabling this, assess their feasibility and scalability, implement a selected method and monitor its impact. We are aiming to explore interventions in 3 to 5 commodity types (e.g. milk, chicken and wheat) depending on scale and cost. These should span a range of commodities within the Tesco supply chain and must be scalable in the event that they successfully contribute to a reduction in food loss.
