## Summary

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is conducting a public procurement process for the research project titled "FS430702 Valuing the FSA's contribution to trust in the food system." This opportunity falls under the category of research and development services, with a specific focus on understanding the societal value of trust generated by the FSA. The tender is currently in the active stage, having been published on 25 January 2021, with a submission deadline set for 1 March 2021. The contract is expected to begin on 19 March 2021 and will run until 20 December 2021. The procurement method being employed is an open procedure, allowing various suppliers to participate. Delivery addresses include the United Kingdom and other regions such as British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in research and consultancy in the food safety sector. Companies that can provide rigorous methodologies for monetising trust and analysing societal benefits from regulatory activities would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this procurement process could lead to valuable contracts and the chance to contribute to critical insights in the food safety domain.

## Notice

The specific objectives of this research are to understand: A. What can we infer from existing research about the value of trust generated by the FSA? How robust are preliminary valuations of the benefits of trust and how do they align with each other? Have any trust components not yet been monetised? B. How can the FSA robustly monetise the societal value of the trust it creates through food safety regulatory activities? Which data needs to be collected and which methods should be deployed to provide a robust valuation? C. What is the monetised societal value attributable to the trust created by the FSA and how does the value of trust fit into the total societal benefits created by the FSA's regulatory regime?
