## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Food Standards Scotland (FSS) involves the provision of "Retail Purchasing Data" and is classified under the services industry category. This process has reached the award stage, marked by the completion of the tender initiated on 2nd December 2020. The contract has been awarded to Kantar Worldpanel for a total value of £200,000, covering a term of one year with the option for a six-month extension. The buyers are situated in Aberdeen, with additional data on retail purchasing obtained to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on consumer behaviour throughout 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data analysis and retail insights, particularly those with experience in the public health or consumer goods sectors. Companies with capabilities in collecting and interpreting purchasing data would be well-suited to engage in future tenders, especially those that can offer innovative methodologies. Given the emphasis on the effects of the pandemic on retail patterns, firms that can leverage advanced analytics to provide actionable insights are likely to find competitive advantages in similar future contracting opportunities.

## Notice

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) wish to appoint a single supplier to provide Retail Purchasing Data for a period of 1 year plus the option to extend by a further 6 months. In May 2020, NSP commissioned new weekly data from Kantar on retail purchasing during COVID-19, as part of an existing Public Health England (PHE)/DEFRA contract. The data covers the period of January 2019 to July 2020. NSP wish to extend this dataset to provide information on purchasing between August and December 2020, to enable us to fully compare 2019 with 2020 and continue to develop our understanding of how COVID-19 has impacted on retail purchasing patterns.
