WWF-UK Tesco Partnership Supply Chain

Tender description

WWF-UK and Tesco are working in partnership to spearhead change within the retail sector, including the use of exemplar landscapes to test and deliver sustainable agricultural practices into several UK food produce supply chains. It is well documented, and clearly evident from these exemplar landscapes, that supply chains can be complex and there are many barriers to delivering sustainability. WWF wishes to undertake an evaluative consultancy that seeks to explore and unravel the issues tied up in domestic agricultural supply chains. Using live Tesco supply chain examples as working case studies, the selected consultant will drill into these chains to understand how greater agricultural sustainability can be leveraged through overcoming barriers and levels of complexity. Building on this, we want to explore a theoretical sustainable transition for one specific product, and identify the practical routes to "scale-up" our learnings; both within the WWF - Tesco Partnership and at the wider retail sector level. We request submissions by Monday 7th February 2022 for a consultancy to run from 23rd February to 26th August 2022 (latest). Consortium proposals are welcome. Please submit your proposal electronically by midday on Monday 7 February 2022 to Emma Martin at eemartin@wwf.org.uk , copying in Simon Aguss at saguss@wwf.org.uk Your proposal must contain: • Your approach and proposed methodology to address the consultancy. • A timeline to deliver the consultancy across the start and completion dates. • An analysis of how you fulfil the required skill set, with supporting evidence. • Names and CVs of all staff who will work on the consultancy, and proposed roles. • A completed WWF-UK Sustainable Procurement Questionnaire • An all-inclusive fee proposal including: o Total days and day rates for each member of staff who will work on the consultancy. o Any travel/ancillary costs. o Your VAT status with VAT, if applicable, clearly identified. • Acceptance of, or comments on, WWF-UK's standard terms and conditions
