What is being bought

Published requirement description

Tenders are invited to carry out an assessment of the potential changes in the UK food system change and their impact on the regulatory system and the FSA’s areas of interest over the next 10 years.

The outputs will inform future policy, operational and research planning in the upcoming strategic

period. The last strategic assessment was completed in 2023. It highlighted developments

impacting the UK food system, including their potential timescale for substantial impact, and the

opportunities and challenges that each presented for the FSA.

We refresh this assessment comprehensively every two years
