The project aims to compare the environmental and social footprint of seafood species and their nutritional value. The tender closing date is 25th May 2023, and the contract period is scheduled from 5th June 2023 to 5th September 2023. This procurement opportunity, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, presents a chance for businesses involved in research and development consultancy services or design and execution of research and development to contribute to the project. Interested parties can explore cost-saving opportunities in selecting seafood species with better nutritional value. The project by WWF-UK aims to influence UK seafood industry practices towards improving environmental and social footprints, potentially leading to increased domestic consumption. ## Notice Please read ToR for full information. The objectives of this report are: - Present a comparison of the environmental and social footprint of the UK's top 10 consumed seafood species (by volume), with species with the lowest footprint (e.g., mussels, small pelagics, seaweed) and extrapolate the footprints if consumption levels were to double to meet the Eatwell Guide recommendations and under population increase projections for mid-2030. - Present a comparison of the environmental and social footprint of seafood species with other animal proteins. - Review the nutritional profile of seafood (fish, shellfish, seaweed) from wild-caught and farmed sources using the current top 10 species (by volume) consumed in the UK and lower footprint species. The nutritional profile will consider protein and nutrients that are often absent or harder to obtain from other dietary sources e.g., omega 3 fatty acids, selenium, magnesium, vitamins A, B, D, and K. - Identify whether there is any nutritional benefit from swapping current seafood preferences to lower footprint species. - Present a comparison of the nutritional value of seafood and other animal proteins and identify whether there is a nutritional benefit of swapping animal protein to seafood. - Review of current UK seafood product portion sizes across all categories (fresh, frozen, ambient, ready to eat) to see whether they meet the Eatwell Guide recommendations (140g uncooked). - Conduct a price comparison review to determine whether there are any cost saving opportunities to customers from choosing lower footprint seafood species that have a better nutritional value compared to current seafood preferences and other animal proteins. - support advocacy asks to the UK seafood industry of improving environmental and social footprints to result in increased domestic consumption of UK seafood (more UK seafood on UK plates). - Support advocacy asks to UK retailers and supply chain actors to increase seafood product portion sizes in line with the Eatwell Guide recommendations (140g uncooked). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5abba82-8f91-4bd5-b745-25132375cb3c | | 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 | 12 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 25 May 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2023 - 5 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000 | | 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 ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 12 May 2023 at 15:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5abba82-8f91-4bd5-b745-25132375cb3c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5abba82-8f91-4bd5-b745-25132375cb3c 12th May 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1b2d8524-daaf-45fb-8f16-e06703c7533d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d6674867-6c6c-43a6-8258-6c6f3970350e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/031fbece-1eed-4a3a-addc-5f14e0e0ceb9 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3c114798-5aa3-42a5-b427-3532a43795f6 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
