## Summary

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is inviting tenders for the project titled "FS302001 - Food & You Waves 6-7", aimed at transitioning the Food and You survey from a face-to-face to a web-push methodology. This procurement process, classified under research and development services, is currently at the award stage after the tender period ended on 13 September 2019. The contract was published on 5 August 2019, and the successful supplier will be accountable for managing survey logistics and data collection from approximately 3,000 respondents across the UK, with a contract period running from 25 November 2019 to 31 March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for research agencies and consultants specialising in survey methodologies, particularly those experienced with digital data collection techniques. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations may find this an ideal chance to engage with the public sector, by leveraging their expertise in conducting surveys that inform public health and safety policies. Competitive bidders should demonstrate a thorough understanding of official statistics and the capacity to adapt methodologies for effective data gathering.

## Notice

Food and You is the FSA's flagship consumer survey measuring self-reported attitudes, behaviour and knowledge regarding food safety and other food-related issues (e.g. food allergies and intolerances, food security, eating outside the home). The survey is issued to a random probability sample of approximately 3,000 adults (over 16) living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and is currently administered via a face-to-face interview. The survey has been conducted biennially since 2008 and five waves of data are now available . Since 2014 results have been published as an Official Statistic. The Food and You Survey is managed by one full-time senior social research officer, with oversight from a principal social research officer. The team regularly calls on the FSA's independent Advisory Committee for Social Science for advice and guidance on the survey. The FSA is seeking an experienced research agency to deliver the recommendations set out in the Advisory Committee for Social Science's Review of Food and You. The appointed supplier will be responsible for: 1. Managing the transition of Food and You from a face-to-face survey to a web-push survey methodology for Wave 6 and investigating mode effects on response profiles. 2. Working with the FSA to develop the questionnaire and survey materials for Waves 6-7. 3. Conducting the fieldwork for Waves 6-7 using a web-push methodology, ensuring it continues to meet the requirements of an Official Statistic. 4. Providing the FSA with (at a minimum) the survey data.
