## Summary

The Food Standards Agency in the United Kingdom has completed a procurement process titled "FS430651 - Behaviours in Kitchens (Kitchen Life 2)." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the industry of research and development services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the final contract was awarded on 15th February 2021, with a total value of £416,164. The study aims to enhance the understanding of food hygiene practices in both domestic and catering kitchens, crucial for informing policy and risk management in food safety.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those specialising in food safety or hygiene practices. Companies that could benefit from this possibility include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in foodborne disease research or those capable of conducting thorough kitchen practice studies. Engaging in this sector could promote growth as public authorities increasingly focus on improving food safety standards and regulations.

## Notice

We are interested in commissioning a new study to understand food hygiene practices in home and catering kitchens better to inform our risk assessment, management and communication and our broader policy. In 2013 the FSA worked with the University of Hertfordshire on a study - Kitchen Life - which sought to investigate, document, analyse and interpret domestic kitchen practices. The study was intended to generate insights about what goes on and why in UK kitchens to inform our thinking about how to reduce the burden of foodborne disease.
