The procurement process, classified under business and management consultancy services, is conducted via an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 31 March 2020. This initiative is based in Banbury, UK and is anticipated to award contracts valued between £50,000 and £100,000, with expected contract start dates around 30 March 2021. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in consulting within the food and drink sectors. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in engaging with companies to promote sustainable practices and reduce food waste will be particularly well-positioned to compete. With around ten sector specialists anticipated to be contracted on a rolling basis, this initiative could be a key avenue for SMEs aiming to expand their market reach and contribute to environmental sustainability. ## Notice WRAP is seeking Food & Drink Sector Specialists with experience in one or more of seven targeted sectors to engage businesses to secure their commitment to the 'UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap' and to secure their implementation of the 'Target, Measure, Act' approach for food waste reduction in their UK operations. SEE 'OTHER INFORMATION' BELOW Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Sector Specialists will be contracted on a rolling 'as-and-when' basis as suitable applications are received, until a sufficient number of appropriate Sector Specialists have been contracted to deliver the pipeline of work. It is anticipated that around 10 Sector Specialists will be contracted. A Sector Specialist will ideally commence work as soon as possible after a contract has been awarded to them - the 'work start' date stated in this notice is therefore incorrect (due to system restrictions in submitting the notice to Contracts Finder). Full details of the contract opportunity, and instructions for how to submit your application, are contained in the Application Pack which can be downloaded from the Delta link below. All correspondence must be through Delta - do not contact WRAP directly. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f02445ae-8b0c-4679-9570-0be7eaaf0aaa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 31 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | WASTE & RESOURCES ACTION PROGRAMME | | Locality | BANBURY | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX16 5BH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Cherwell | | Electoral ward | Banbury Cross and Neithrop | | Westminster constituency | Banbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 18 Jun 2019 at 08:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f02445ae-8b0c-4679-9570-0be7eaaf0aaa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f02445ae-8b0c-4679-9570-0be7eaaf0aaa 18th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Banbury:-Food-%26-Drink-Sector-Specialists/7ZQ854F7VC Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
