In plain English
The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) wants an organisation with behavioural science expertise to design, adapt and evaluate ways to reduce food left on guests' plates at up to 20 pilot sites in Europe and India, without lowering the guest experience. The sites are hotel buffets, hospitality events, and corporate catering buffets.
What the buyer wants
• Design, adapt and evaluate guest-side behavioural interventions that reduce plate waste across the three site settings • Work remotely, as the supplier is not expected to travel to sites • Leave the site recruitment, food waste measurement, on-site implementation and data collection to WRAP and its local partners
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The requirement for applied behavioural science expertise to design and evaluate interventions across multiple countries and settings is the most likely barrier for a small business that lacks specialist research capability.
Always check the tender documents.
