## Summary

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board commissioned a programme to support balanced, evidence-based discussion of red and processed meat in UK dietary guidance. The work centres on reviewing evidence about recommendations for consumption in UK diets and identifying areas of agreement, uncertainty and gaps in the evidence. It includes a roundtable, a webinar and a publication. The contracted service is described under an agricultural-services classification, although its practical focus is nutrition evidence and dietary guidance. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Board used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold route. The British Nutrition Foundation was selected and signed the contract on 9 October 2026. The contract runs from 15 October 2026 to 1 October 2027 and is valued at £72,500 excluding VAT (£87,000 including VAT). There is one lot, covering the programme of evidence review, roundtable, webinar and publication. The published procurement information does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing when this Board’s requirement returns, the award indicates demand for a focused, evidence-led nutrition programme concerning red and processed meat in UK diets. Credible delivery would require the ability to review and explain dietary evidence in a balanced way, distinguish consensus from uncertainty and identify evidence gaps. The scope also calls for convening a roundtable, delivering a webinar and producing a publication, so suppliers need research and synthesis skills alongside stakeholder engagement, event delivery and clear public-facing communication. The selected provider is the British Nutrition Foundation, a small and medium-sized organisation with charitable status, demonstrating that this work was delivered by a specialist nutrition body. Suppliers should be able to coordinate these activities as a coherent programme for the Board.
