## Summary

The Food Standards Agency recently awarded a contract for the "Online Supermarket Trial," which falls within the research and development services sector. This procurement process involved calling off from an existing contract and is categorised under the CPV classification 73000000. The contract period runs from 4th January 2022 to 31st March 2022, with the award date set for 10th January 2022. This procurement reflects the agency's interest in exploring sustainable consumer choices within online supermarkets, and it covers locations including the United Kingdom and other regions such as the British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the research and consultancy sectors, focusing on behaviour and consumer studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well suited to compete for similar contracts, given their flexibility and expertise in conducting trials and research. Engaging in projects like this can help businesses expand their portfolios while contributing to sustainable practices in consumer behaviour.

## Notice

There has been an increase online supermarket shopping so one area of interest is the effectiveness of behavioural interventions on how consumers make sustainable food choices. As such the FSA wishes to appoint a supplier to design and run a behavioural trial within an online supermarket environment to help build evidence on how choice architecture effects consumer behaviour with regards to environmental outcomes of product choices. Given existing work in this area a key evidence gap is the relative effects of overt versus covert behavioural interventions.
