This project aims to explore the agri-food sector in North Wales, identify market demand for local produce, and analyse supply chain dynamics to promote sustainability and economic growth. The tender deadline for submission is 26th January 2024, with the award period ending on 31st January 2024. The procurement method is open, and the main procurement category is services. This tender presents opportunities for businesses in food, analysis, consultancy, and research services sectors. Companies interested in sustainable agri-food development, data analysis, and business consultancy would be well-suited to compete. Potential bidders should align their proposals with the strategic goals of all six local authorities in North Wales to contribute to the holistic development of the local food ecosystem in line with socio-economic objectives. Collaborative approaches leveraging existing mapping initiatives by local authorities are encouraged for successful bidding. ## Notice With support from the six North Wales Food Partnerships, the Ambition North Wales Agri-food and Tourism Programme Board and the Portfolio Board have approved a piece of regional research that will explore the status of agri-food in the region.The project aims to build on mapping work being done by the Food Coordinators in each local authority to produce a comprehensive report that will provide tangible insights to shape the future of sustainable agri-food in the region, shorten supply chains, create jobs and stimulate further investment in North Wales. The mapping will identify and quantify the scale of regional market demand for local produce and analyse barriers and enablers affecting the supply and demand dynamics in the local agri-food industry.This project aims to support a strategic approach that will help strengthen the North Wales agri-food ecosystem, promoting health, sustainability and economic growth. The study's findings will serve as a catalyst for informed decision-making and future investments to support and drive positive outcomes for the regional agri-food sector. The research will enable local authorities and agri-food organisations across the region to connect and progress work towards building sustainable food systems as a collective rather than through individual initiatives.Analysing and integrating previous mapping work at both local and regional levels is key within this study, as many food partnerships and other organisations have looked at similar topics previously.The successful candidate is expected to leverage existing food mapping initiatives undertaken by local authorities in North Wales. It has been noted that certain local authorities in the region have already conducted comprehensive food mapping work. In the spirit of collaboration and resource optimization, the chosen contractor should actively incorporate and build upon the findings and insights generated by these local authorities in the course of conducting their own mapping work.Additionally, the successful candidate is required to align their mapping efforts with the overarching strategic goals outlined in the Corporate Plans and Wellbeing Plans of all six local authorities in North Wales. This comprehensive approach ensures that the mapping work not only takes into account the existing initiatives by local authorities but also integrates seamlessly with the broader regional development frameworks. By mapping against these strategic plans, the contractor will contribute to a holistic understanding of the local food ecosystem in alignment with the socio-economic and wellbeing objectives outlined by each respective local authority.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=137560.The buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility.
