## Summary

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has awarded a contract titled "FS404003 Reformulating Cheesecake" for technical guidance generation related to cheesecake manufacturing, which aligns with research from a nutritional content survey. This procurement process is classified under research and development services, specifically focusing on consultancy services. The open tender, which concluded on 18th March 2021, had a value of £19,558.04 and a contract period that commenced on 19th April 2021 and runs until 31st December 2021. The successful applicant, the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE), will conduct a workshop for food business representatives to demonstrate the new guidance.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in the food and beverage sector, particularly those focusing on cheesecake manufacturing or consultancy services. Companies that can provide specialised knowledge or services in food reformulation, alongside those prepared to engage in workshops and presentations, would be well-suited to participate in similar tenders. The FSA's collaboration with knowledge providers is aimed at fostering innovation in food products, potentially benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) keen to expand their influence within the food industry.

## Notice

The FSA are asking Knowledge Providers to create technical guidance for manufacturing reformulated cheesecake (based on the findings from the Nutritional content of cheesecake survey9). The successful applicant will also be required to host a workshop with at least 20 food business representatives involved in the manufacture or preparation of cheesecake from scratch e.g., restaurants, cafes or cheesecake manufacturers to showcase the technical guidance with taste testing. Ideally, the technical workshop will be hosted using a 'physical' format, however, the format the workshop will take ('physical' or 'virtual') will be dependent on COVID-19 restrictions. The FSA will collaborate with the successful applicant to agree the most appropriate forum to deliver the workshop.
