Tenders for FSA funded projects must be submitted through the health-family single e-Commercial System (Atamis), using the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
The submission route named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Business Services — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
Food Standards Agency publishes Business Services work continuously — 19 notices, roughly one every 58 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
65% of Food Standards Agency’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
In order to protect consumers, we need to understand their attitudes, knowledge and behaviour in relation to food.
The Agency’s main source of methodologically robust and representative evidence regarding consumers’ attitudes, knowledge and behaviour in relation to food is our annual Official statistic Food and You 2 survey.
This survey has an important role in measuring the FSA’s progress towards its strategic objectives, providing evidence to support FSA policy decision-making, communication campaigns and other activities as well as identifying topics for further research or action.
The survey currently samples 4,000 households (including 1,000 households in both Northern Ireland and Wales).
Since Wave 8, we have also worked with our counterparts in Food Standards Scotland, to achieve an additional 1,000 households in Scotland on an annual basis.
This data is reported and published separately by Food Standards Scotland.
The FSA is seeking an experienced research agency to continue delivering the FSA’s official statistic Food and You 2 annual survey, for waves 13-16 (one survey wave per year).
This specification sets out key deliverables in 5 stages as follows: 1.
Questionnaire development: Working with the FSA to develop the questionnaire and survey materials for Waves 13-16 2.
Conducting fieldwork for Waves 13-16 including the distribution of invite letters and incentives.
3.
Data processing: Processing and cleaning of the survey data 4.
Production of data sets: The production of all data files and supporting documentation 5.
Production of final outputs such as aggregate data tables and reports required for the project.
In recent years, the FSA has produced data tables and findings reports in house.
We welcome bids where data tables and reports are conducted by suppliers.
More information is provided under this section.
