## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is planning a procurement process titled "Food Purchase and Consumption data and analysis" in the services category. The aim is to gather data on food purchases and consumption in the UK, including trends in alternative protein sources. Defra is seeking to understand market capabilities to deliver this data, with a contract expected to run from January 2023 to March 2023. The response deadline for expressions of interest is 07/12/2022.

This tender by Defra presents an opportunity for businesses involved in economic research services and food industry analysis to provide insights on changing food consumption patterns. Companies that can offer expertise in data analysis and trends in food purchasing behaviour would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process is in the planning stage, providing interested parties with time to prepare and demonstrate their capabilities to meet Defra's requirements.

## Notice

Defra is looking to procure robust data on food purchases and consumption in Britain and to understand how this is changing in a rapidly evolving policy environment. 

Recent inflation is leading to changes in food purchases and consumption for different groups of people. Moreover, in an era where there remains a high degree of concern over rising obesity and poor nutrition, there is a focus on households' shopping baskets.

The UK has also seen a growing interest in alternative protein sources to traditional animal-based proteins, as consumers seek alternatives to traditional animal-based proteins. Innovation has led to an acceleration in novel food production and the potential to dramatically transform the UK food system. There is a critical need to fully understand the size, growth potential and opportunity for the UK market, including trends in consumer demand and uptake.
