## Summary

The WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) is currently seeking proposals for a tender titled "Insect protein production," aimed at developing a roadmap for scaling up insect protein production in the UK. This project falls under the agricultural and environmental consultancy sectors, and is part of the open procurement method. The deadline for submitting proposals is 6 April 2020, with the expected delivery of the final report by approximately 31 August 2020. The contracting authority is based in Woking, England, and has a budget range of £30,000 to £60,000 for this project.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and research sectors, particularly those with expertise in agriculture, environmental issues, and animal feed production. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project could enhance their visibility and credibility in a growing industry focused on sustainable food sources. Businesses with experience in consultancy services and a strong methodological approach may find this tender particularly well-suited for their capabilities.

## Notice

The overall aim of this project is to develop a roadmap indicating how the production of insect protein for animal feed can be scaled up so that it can begin to displace fishmeal and eventually soya bean meal. The report should consolidate existing research and build a body of evidence which can be used to catalyse the expansion of insect protein production in Europe, with focus on the UK. The final output will be a WWF report. Assessment of proposals Proposals should include the relevant background of the consultant(s) involved, CVs of consultants who will participate in the project, a cost estimate for the project to include the daily rate, the number of days the consultant(s) plan to spend on the work (broken down by task if possible), and a detailed timeline for delivery of the reports by 31 August 2020. The application should be no longer than 6 sides plus CVs of participating consultants. Proposals will be assessed using a selection of criteria, likely including: fit to brief, previous experience of consultancy, how quickly the work can be completed, value for money, credible proposed methodology. Closing date to submit proposals: 06 April 2020 Delivery of final report: TBC but approx. 31 August 2020 Guidance on budget available: PS30,000 - PS60,000
