## Summary

The Food Standards Agency has successfully completed a procurement process titled "FS430812 Consumer responses to food labelling: a rapid evidence assessment." This initiative falls under the industry category of research services and aims to enhance understanding of consumer interactions with food labelling. The procurement used a direct method, specifically a single tender action below threshold, and was awarded on 28 May 2021, kicking off the contract period from 3 June 2021 to 30 September 2021, in York, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research services, particularly those focused on consumer behaviour and food regulation. Companies with expertise in evidence assessments and community consultations could leverage this procurement to expand their market presence. This initiative is also suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to contribute to critical public health and consumer protection agendas.

## Notice

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) aims to be a modern and accountable regulator. As part of this, the FSA is considering how labelling can support our public health and consumer protection agenda, as food labels and food information have a key role to play in changing how we produce and consume food. In order to take considered action on food labelling, the FSA needs to understand how people understand, use, read and respond to labels on food, and different aspects of this labelling. We are therefore looking to commission a contractor to conduct a rapid evidence assessment reviewing the existing published research on consumer understanding and responses to food labelling.
