## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme conducted a tender titled "Local Sourcing Research," aimed at analysing current sourcing and supply chain practices within the bakery, dairy, fresh produce, and meat sectors in the UK. This procurement process, classified under procurement consultancy services, followed an open method and concluded successfully with the contract awarded on 14th September 2018. The awarded contract has a total value of £24,550 and runs from 17th September 2018 to 31st December 2018. The geographical scope includes the United Kingdom and extends to British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy services, particularly for those specialising in supply chain management and local food sourcing. Companies that effectively understand the dynamics of local sourcing practices and can navigate the barriers identified in the study will be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, organisations with capabilities in providing strategic insights and increasing local food sourcing will find this area particularly beneficial for growth, especially within the context of the increasing demand for sustainable sourcing practices.

## Notice

The objectives of this study are to provide an understanding of: * current sourcing and supply chain practices in the UK to supply local food products within the bakery, dairy, fresh produce, and meat sectors into convenience stores owned or franchised by national retailers, and food manufacturers; * supply chain practices that are working well and enabling local sourcing, and the barriers to the further uptake of local sourcing; and * the opportunities to increase local food sourcing. The scope of this study is not intended to include local sourcing into individual retailers / points of sale (e.g. farm shops, markets, 'corner shops' etc). Additional information: This procurement exercise has now concluded.
