## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is planning to procure economic research services for gathering data on food purchases and consumption in Britain. This tender aims to understand changing food preferences and consumer trends, including the uptake of alternative protein sources. The contract is expected to run from January 2023 to March 2023, with a response deadline of 07/12/2022.

This procurement opportunity by Defra presents a chance for businesses involved in economic research, food analysis, and data analytics to contribute to understanding consumer behaviour and market trends. Companies with expertise in analysing food consumption patterns and interpreting market data, especially related to alternative protein sources, would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## 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. With rapid developments in this field, including significant support from private investors and industry, 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.
