They are seeking proposals for the consultancy project titled "Development of an 'Innovation Index' to drive sustainability in the food system". This initiative falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services and aims to identify late-stage, market-ready innovations that can significantly enhance sustainability in the food sector. The deadline for submission of responses is Monday, 2nd March 2020, with the contract period commencing on 9th March 2020 and running until 1st June 2020, with a total contract value estimated at £100,000. This tender follows an open procurement method, allowing various organisations to compete for the contract. This tender presents exciting opportunities for businesses focused on sustainability, innovation, and environmental consultancy services. Companies that specialise in research and development, particularly those with expertise in environmental impacts related to the food supply chain, would find this opportunity aligning well with their offerings. Additionally, businesses capable of demonstrating late-stage, market-ready innovations that can contribute to sustainability efforts are encouraged to submit proposals, especially as the initiative aims to make a version of the Innovation Index publicly available to maximise impact. ## Notice The aim of this work is to identify a long list of late-stage, market-ready innovations relevant to the food industry (the 'Innovation Index') that have the potential to drive sustainability impact at scale. The innovations should have very significant environmental benefits against a key set of criteria and should be ready to be applied in a real-world supply chain context. Each innovation should be described and evaluated to help prioritise the most promising, including suggestions on how the innovations might be scaled and what environmental impact this could lead to. A key purpose of the Innovation Index is to support WWF, Tesco and other supporting third parties to make decisions around the use of funding via the WWF-Tesco partnership into potentially game-changing innovations. However, the intention is also to make a version of the Index publicly available in order to maximise its impact. WWF welcomes proposals from suitably qualified organisations. Please refer to the attached Terms of Reference for further information. Responses should be sent by email to Procurement@wwf.org.uk Deadline for submission: Monday 2nd March 2020.
