UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

Summary WWF-UK is calling for research/political consultant proposals to deliver a summary and full report on how UK governments (UK/England, Scotland, Wales) food system polices can make food affordable for everyone in these nations, whilst supporting farmers and increasing people's access to nature. Existing WWF-UK and other research identifies the most cost-beneficial food system policies in UK/England, Scotland and Wales, (WWF-UK Eating for Net Zero report, WWF-UK Rightsizing UK Agriculture report, National Food Strategy, Dasgupta review, Marmot review). The report(s) should expand on these by: - contextualising these policies' cost-benefits in the current cost of living crisis, including at a constituency level, - showcasing how these policies' cost-benefits can reduce inequalities between constituencies, including in the context of the current cost-of-living crisis - showcasing how reducing these regional inequalities is itself cost-beneficial at a constituency and national level - comparing the cost-benefits of these food system polices to policies on other areas (e.g. increasing urban housing and broadband in rural areas) at a national and constituency level This report will support WWF-UK, WWF-Scotland and WWF-Cymru's food advocacy, including WWF-UK advocacy towards DLUHC and WWF-Scotland and WWF-Cymru advocacy on the Agriculture Bills and Food Bills/Plan in Scotland and Wales. Deliverables: 1. A ~50Pg comms designed public report outlining the full research results. This should include relevant graphical representations of the results. 2. A ~10Pg policy makers summary report. (Report comms design, including any graphics, will be undertaken by WWF-UK in-house). Timelines and next steps • This RFQ was issued on 31th May • Any potential providers can speak to Carmel Edwards CEdwards@WWF-UK.org.uk with any queries • We request that all responses are returned to us by 12 noon on 10th June • A decision will be made as soon as possible with a view to the project starting in June and to be delivered by end-August 2022

Development of a Power BI Dashboard for Impact Reporting Overarching purpose: The overall aim of this project is to create a Dashboard to communicate WWF-UK's impact metrics (on GHG emissions, areas under conservation/protection and societal wellbeing) in a visually appealing way, with access to underlying data and information. Project scope and objectives: • Use the WWF-UK agreed impact structure (layers of data at: global, "goal" and programme levels) to design a dashboard reporting interface for each layer, with clarity about the contribution made from programmes, to goals, to global change. • Enable the integration of options at all appropriate levels to read explanatory narratives, dig into data sets and see sources of information - while managing over-complexity!). • Present the information in a way that is easy for non-experts to view and understand. • Set up the source data sets such that information can be added and updated over time by Power BI license holders within WWF UK. • Advise on dashboard accessibility within WWF-UK and for a limited external audience. • Train a group of Power BI license holders to maintain and use the dashboard (data entry, updates and communication).

With the move to remote working since the start of the pandemic in March 2020 followed by a hybrid approach, we need to review our Estates to ensure we are being financially sustainable and being cost effective in managing our estate while enabling our staff to work at their best. We want to work in a way which maximises our organisational effectiveness. There will be three distinct streams of work: a. design an estates strategy that will deliver the aim above b. implement the estates strategy - including quick wins c. in the interim (runs in parallel with i), do some estates improvements that are either future-proof or good value for money in the meantime This invitation to tender is to support with only part (i) above, including identifying any quick wins. To do this, we are commissioning a consultant to: (a) Perform a situational analysis of how staff are currently using the office, what other organisations are doing, and evaluating the environmental impact of the current hybrid working policy (considering office occupancy, commuting and working from home). Much of this information has already been collected and can be provided. (b) Create recommendations for each office space, and for an overarching estates strategy for the organisation to be delivered by December 2022, though interim decisions on some offices may happen sooner. This will cover whether the buildings and locations are correct, consider ownership vs leasing, and any workspace changes needed particularly focusing on enabling our hybrid working approach. It will address both short-term wins and longer-term planning, including anything which needs to be put in place up to 2030 and beyond. Indications of costs, priorities, impact and risk should be given. (c) Support the creation of the strategy from the agreed recommendations. The goal is to have a clear strategy for each of our Estates that we are confident has been fully considered from all angles, including organisational effectiveness, recruitment and retention, staff wellbeing, environmental impact, economic efficiency and sustainability, and ultimately enables our hybrid working approach. From this point, the organisation will take forward the implementation of the strategy, and the scope of the consultant ends. Please read attached word document for the agency requirements.

We are looking for an external third party to examine the government and CCC's ambitions to reduce energy demand in domestic buildings across the country and consider what the policy and industrial strategy gaps are to achieving both scenarios. Main Deliverable : A piece of analysis (no page limit) covering 2023-2030 and generating scenarios for how to meet two ambitions relating to reduction in final energy consumption in domestic buildings. From an evidenced 2021 baseline (for example DUKES 1.1au data on final domestic consumption, which was 478TWh in 2021), the analysis should consider how to reach: A 15% reduction in final consumption by 2030 (consistent with the government's new ambition to reduce final consumption across buildings and industry by 15% from 2021). A c.20% reduction in final consumption by 2030 (broadly consistent with the CCC's Net Zero Balanced Pathway, although noting that, using an updated 2021 baseline, reaching the CCC's projected final demand for residential buildings in 2030 is likely to involve a greater reduction, potentially around 23%). The analysis should consider what the policy and industrial strategy gaps are to achieving both scenarios, taking into account existing government policy and commitments (as announced already) for the years ahead this decade.

Sodexo UK&I recently announced a comprehensive roadmap to net zero and decarbonisation of their business in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with targets such as increasing the number of plant-based meals and recipes to 33% by 2025. Since then, Sodexo Group are developing their Net Zero strategy. In setting this strategy, Sodexo Group has also developed, tested, and are now scaling a carbon trajectory tool. This will act as a user guide to assist countries and segments to define their carbon reduction programme. However, further fixed actions, targets, and KPIs are still needed for the food element of the net zero strategy. The range of actions (levers) that are available to pull upon to achieve carbon reduction goals and helping to bend the curve on nature loss will require action not only from individual companies but wider multi-stakeholder collaboration between industry, government and third sector organisations. Within Sodexo's sustainable actions, there is a need to work closely with clients in different segments to ensure that there is an alignment in commitment and actions towards goals, so that impact is translated at the till-level. There are barriers and actions needed for this require exploration and identification. Project Aims: The primary aim of this project is to develop a report on the key collaborative actions (levers) that food service businesses (such as Sodexo) can take alongside their client segments (institutions of universities/hospitals, businesses in private and public sector) to support sustainable diet offers, across all areas of food but with a focus on a shift to more plant protein sales. This must be aligned with net zero trajectory and should cover Sodexo's main global markets of UK, France, USA, and if within scope, also cover China and Brazil. The report must primarily (1) be practicable and useful for food service and their clients, considering dynamics of this relationship, the barriers of each party and laying out actions to take (or levers to pull on) to support them. In addition, the report will be used to create an (2) external facing client engagement tool, to be used by Sodexo staff as a blueprint for how to work with clients to engage and gain commitments on sustainable diets. This would ideally also act as an advocacy piece and encourage wide change across the food sector. Therefore, all work within (1) should bear this usage in mind. Please see word document for further information.

The UK has adopted a binding net zero target and has set out a Net Zero Strategy outlining the Government's preferred approach to delivery against this target. In addition to strategic public investment, private investment from businesses will be crucial to achieving this target. This makes it essential to have the means of tracking public and private investment flows, understanding their likely impact on carbon emissions, and assessing if they are sufficient to deliver net zero. While mechanisms exist to assess the environmental impact of individual government policies, Government has not yet introduced mechanisms to: 1. Track private and public investment flows to net zero and assess if they're sufficient 2. Assess the impact of public tax and spending policies at fiscal events and whether they are helping to get the UK on track for net zero or not To address this, WWF and E3G, alongside a range of leading businesses and financial institutions, are calling for the Government to publish a Net Zero Investment Plan, to be updated on an annual basis, containing: 1. Assessment of the decarbonisation investment needs of different sectors, aligned with the sectoral transition pathways contained in the Net Zero Strategy 2. Tracking of actual public and private low carbon investment flows, conducted on an ongoing basis by an independent body 3. Reporting, based on application of a Net Zero Delivery Tracker, of the environmental impact of public tax and spending at each fiscal event, in terms of financial flows and projected carbon emissions impact 4. Assessment of the gap between actual and required investment for sectors and plan of how govt will use strategic public finance, policy, and regulation to crowd in private finance to close the gap.

Please read the ITT word doc for full information. Why WWF-UK needs this project to be carried out: • To date, the UK government has made important commitments to reach Net Zero and Nature Positive targets by passing the UK Environment Act 2021 and the Climate Change Act. However, the UK government needs to produce a policy framework to fully implement the UK Environment Act 2021 and guide the economy through a net zero and nature positive transition. • Much work has already been done to set out net zero transition pathways for different sectors of the economy, both globally and in the UK, which has helped companies and financial institutions to understand what they need to align with in their own transition, and what policies are required to support this transition. For example, the net zero pathways developed by the UK Climate Change Committee, have led to major reforms and reviews in multiple sectors of the economy, including: construction, heating and housing, transportation, energy, and local authorities. • However, we do not have a similar understanding of what a transition to a nature positive economy would look like. Mapping out what it would take for different sectors in the UK to become nature positive, would help companies and government understand what this transition may look like and how to align their activities and policies with these pathways. It will thus help businesses to break down high-level environmental targets into company level ones, in a way that enables them to operationalise them and act upon them. And it would inform the development of targeted policy recommendations for the UK government to support and incentivise the necessary transition by the private sector. • As many companies and financial institutions will already be looking at sectoral pathways to net zero to guide their strategies, how nature-positive pathways can be integrated with/build upon this existing work in net zero should be core to this analysis. Sectoral nature-positive pathways should be designed to be easily integrated with net zero pathways and transition planning. 4 KEY OBJECTIVES The main aim of the project is to create and pilot an approach for developing nature positive sectoral pathways to be integrated into net zero sectoral pathways in the UK and to provide policy recommendations to the UK government to effectively guide the economy through the transitions. Exam questions: 1. What are the transitions that key sectors of the UK economy need to undergo to align with the targets set out in the Environment Act 2021 and the CCC Path to Net Zero? 2. What policy actions are required to effectively guide the UK economy to fully align with the Environment Act 2021 and the CCC Path to Net Zero - including economic and fiscal incentives, regulations, and reporting and target-setting frameworks, such as SBTN and TNFD?

Please read Invitation to Tender PDF doc for full information. Background: WWF-UK's finance and economics policy teams work to ensure that the financial system and economy decarbonise, counter the damaging effects of climate change and deliver a nature-positive future. Transition plans have been promoted as one of the key routes by which the UK's (and the world's) finance sector and economy will reach net zero. In 2022, a government-backed Transition Plan Taskforce was set up in the UK to look at developing gold standard private sector climate transition plans. The government committed to making disclosure of these plans mandatory for listed companies and financial institutions. Whilst these plans are primarily designed for climate disclosure, WWF-UK have been exploring how nature could also be incorporated into transition plans. Why WWF-UK needs this project to be carried out: The government's theory of change is that in requiring financial institutions and listed companies to disclose transition plans for their Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, it will create market pressure on them to ensure that those plans are credible and will place the same pressure on all the companies in their financing and supply chains. In other words, disclosure will generate the pressure for transition plans to be credible and acted on by companies. While disclosure is important, we would like to explore its effectiveness and to what extent additional regulatory and accountability requirements would be needed to ensure that transition planning drives real world decarbonisation required to deliver on the UK's net zero commitments. This project aims to understand (a) to what extent current transition plan disclosure requirements, as announced by the UK government and developed through the UK TPT, will help to deliver rapid decarbonisation, and (b) to what extent further action beyond existing commitments and guidance is required from government (and regulators) to ensure that transition planning and its disclosure is robust/credible, easily and widely adopted by FIs and other key stakeholders, and ultimately drives rapid decarbonisation.

Please read Terms of Reference for full information. A central part of WWF's UK Strategy is the delivery of 'Wholescape' projects in England, Wales and Scotland. The idea of 'Wholescapes' refers to WWF's attempt to address nature, climate and people in a holistic way at a regional level, by linking projects across land, rivers and sea. The Wholescape Action Research Project (WARP) is a key component of the overall wholescape approach. A core objective is to leverage experience from the wholescapes to influence policy and practice elsewhere in the country and at national level. To do this, it is essential to be able to tell the stories of the wholescapes in a detailed and compelling way. We want to make sure that the progress of the projects is accurately documented, lessons learned are recorded in detail, and the contribution of a wide range of stakeholders is facilitated. To achieve this, we are establishing the WARP. The WARP will use a Participatory Action Research approach to document and analyse the Wholescape project as it develops. It will culminate in detailed case study reports presenting the outcomes and lessons learned from the first two years of the Wholescapes project. REQUIREMENTS WWF is seeking a research partner to produce a methodology for the WARP. We invite proposals for the design of an Action Research methodology that would systematically engage with project stakeholders across an extended period, document an analyse key issues, and produce findings for one or more written reports. Key requirements: The methodology should: • be applicable to different contexts, so that it can be used in Norfolk, Pembrokeshire and other wholescape projects in the future. • be capable of identifying compelling findings and storylines that will help elevate the experiences in the wholescape projects to have impact at a wider, national level. • enable the participation and engagement of a wide range of stakeholders and communities. • strike the right balance between flexibility and consistency. It should be flexible enough to be applicable in different geographical and social contexts across multiple wholescapes, whilst at the same time enabling research across different wholescapes to be consistent and comparable. • The researcher(s) will be required to work closely with WWF staff and other stakeholders on the design of the methodology. The researcher(s) are expected to have: • A background in environmental social science or similar discipline. We would also be interested to hear from people with a journalistic or storytelling background. • Knowledge or experience of participatory action research. • A working knowledge of the context of UK conservation, especially in relation to farming. • Experience of designing research projects that engage a wide range of different stakeholders (including communities, NGOs and corporate partners) and tailoring engagement and research with these different groups in an appropriate way.

To make an initial determination on whether multi-habitat coastal restoration in North Norfolk will be feasible and will deliver ecological and socio-economic benefit to the area. For this research piece, feasibility of restoration has been primarily identified as reliant on quality and extent of existing habitat type and the scale of pressures, such as poor water quality, within North Norfolk. Further identification of potential ecosystem indicators of success would be beneficial to determine effects of functional connectivity between multiple habitat types. This is a desk-based feasibility study and, depending on the outcome of this research, aims to develop into a larger project looking to actively restore multiple habitat types within North Norfolk. This work sits within the wider WWF-UK Wholescape Programme across the county of Norfolk.

WWF-UK seeks an academic partner and/or research consultancy to inform the development of a new Wholescape Programme, which ultimately will direct our investment in on-the-ground work across the UK. The project will be structured around the following tasks: Task 1: work with WWF-UK to finalise a research framework and areas of research that will form the basis of the consultancy. Task 2: undertake desk-based research, providing monthly updates on progress to WWF-UK. Task 3: provide between 5 and 8 detailed case studies of initiatives that have either planned or delivered work that incorporates at least two pillars of the Triple Challenge e.g., climate and nature, nature and people, taking into account the need for examples at multiple scales (Study Objective III). Separately signposting to key project staff and stakeholders to enable WWF UK to build on desk-based research later. Task 4: delivery of a report that synthesizes findings from tasks 2 and 3 into a document that can be used to 'mine' information to inform the development and delivery of the Wholescape. The report will provide an evaluation of the case studies in terms of what worked well and what didn't, enabling WWF UK to integrate findings into the Wholescape Programme. The report will be no more than 50 pages in total, but accompanied by a summary with headline findings. Task 5: final presentation of findings delivered either in person at one of the three WWF-UK offices (Edinburgh, Cardiff or Woking) or virtually.
