Description

Seafish wants to appoint an experienced researcher, consultant or consortium to deliver SF2040 Recommendation 6: "Review the impacts of a population shift to 2 a week seafood consumption to better quantify the substantial socioeconomic impacts of improved health. "

Tenders are invited to conduct analysis using economic and population health data in order to build a reliable and estimated picture of the socioeconomic value and impact of increased seafood consumption on England's economy, population health, and Government, and NHS budgets. Analysis of two scenarios is required:

1. An increase to two portions of seafood per person per week; and
2. No change in current consumption levels

Seafish requires a researcher, agency, consortium or economist that will be able to deliver the following activities and outputs:

- Bespoke research/modelling and interrogation of data

- Final report with an Executive Summary, Conclusion and Reference sections, visual aids such as charts, tables, infographics etc. and reliable and accurate estimates that withstand scrutiny

- Two stages of presentations reporting to the project steering committee, the Seafood Marketing Optimisation Group, facilitated by Seafish

- One slide presentation highlighting the results for Seafish to disseminate within the industry and use more widely where appropriate (e.g. to generate interest in Government)

- A key messages brochure/1-page brief

More information can be found in the attached invitation to tender document.

Before making the decision to bid for this tender, please note that the project is dependent upon external funding. Seafish intends to apply to the EMFF and as part of the process an invitation to tender is required. This project will not occur without external funding.
