This tender falls under the research and experimental development services category and has an estimated value between £70,000 and £85,000, including VAT. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period concluding on 1st April 2022, and the contract period commencing from 8th April 2022 and running until 28th February 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, intended to invite a broad range of applicants to submit their bids. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in research and development consultancy services. Companies experienced in developing metrics or tools to standardise data for farming applications may find this an ideal fit. Engaging in this project can enhance a business’s portfolio and contribute to meaningful agricultural sustainability initiatives, paving the way for future growth in the burgeoning field of sustainable food practices. ## Notice We are seeking a highly experienced consultant or consortium to develop a global on-farm food loss metric that can be accessed by farmers for use on farms of all sizes and types. This will build on the existing metrics and measurement guidance published by WRAP, WWF-US, FAO and other organisations to consolidate the existing metrics into a simple to use tool, outputting information in a manner which is consistent with reporting requirements and standards but in a user friendly manner. Creating a tool which moves us towards standardisation of data inputs and outputs across key stakeholders is a pivotal goal in this work. We have approximately PS70-85k including VAT to support this work. Thank you for expressing an interest in working with and supporting WWF-UK with this important piece of work. We look forward to receiving your response. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dd10d1be-e856-4ca3-9271-a4b61007e157 | | 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 | 4 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2022 - 28 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £85,000 | | 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 - 4 Mar 2022 at 14:10 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dd10d1be-e856-4ca3-9271-a4b61007e157 - 4 Mar 2022 at 12:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dd10d1be-e856-4ca3-9271-a4b61007e157 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dd10d1be-e856-4ca3-9271-a4b61007e157 4th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2c440d9a-3fdf-4901-80c9-260e00ce2ce6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/76822223-1712-49e0-ad3e-4ae6be050803 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b577a9b5-6e9a-4f83-a03c-09868822e2c2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
