## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, is currently at the planning stage of a procurement process to lead the design and recruitment for citizens’ juries across various UK locations, including rural Cumbria, Glasgow, Leicester, London, and Rhyl. This initiative aims to address policy recommendations for the UK’s food system, linking it to the achievement of Net Zero targets and improved population health. This upcoming tender, categorized under Education and services industry, involves a contract value of £150,000. Interested parties should complete the necessary engagement questionnaire and register by 11th August 2025.

To lead the design and recruitment of five, 2-day citizens juries, each with 16-18 participants of diverse backgrounds, across the UK (provisionally rural Cumbria, Glasgow, Leicester, London, and Rhyl).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

To lead the recruitment and support the implementation of five, 2-day citizens juries, each with 16-18 participants of diverse backgrounds, across the UK (provisionally rural Cumbria, Glasgow, Leicester, London, and Rhyl). The purpose is to discuss research and policy recommendations that will enable the UK's food system to help achieve Net Zero targets while also improving population health. The research team will design the citizens' juries, finalise the location details, facilitate each jury, and analyse the research data. However, a supplier is needed for the following key tasks: 1. Recruit 18 participants to each of the five juries, via phone-call or on-street recruitment methods. The juries will use a mini-public design, so participant groups should be broadly representative of the local populations in terms of: - Gender - Ethnicity - Age - Socio-economic status - Political preferences 2. Process compensation payments to the participants to cover their time and travel. To ensure the process is as inclusive as possible, participants should be given the option to receive payments by bank transfer, cash on the day or vouchers. 3. Attend each jury to welcome and assist participants on-site, including making cash or voucher payments.
