  1. Data must be split by method including the following as a minimum:
  • Dine out - Eating in or on the go
  • Takeaways - Collected or delivered
  1. Data must be split by channel (we are open to agencies proposing different channel coding

approaches):

  • Quick service retail e.g. coffee shops, fast food, cafes, bakery/sandwiches
  • Full service restaurants e.g. restaurants, diners
  • Pubs and bars
  • Contract catering e.g. workplace canteens, hospitals, schools etc
  • Travel & leisure e.g. train, ferries, events etc
  • Multiples including forecourts e.g. supermarkets, convenience stores etc
  1. Data must be split by product type/meal, with the protein identifiable (beef, lamb, pork,

chicken, fish, vegetarian, vegan) and key cuts (e.g. steaks, burgers, roasting joints,

sausages etc) specified or obvious. A read of meat-free/alternatives is also beneficial.

  1. Data must be able to be split by day part and demographics to help analysis
  2. It would be beneficial for data to be split by operator for volume estimate purposes
  • No preliminary market engagement: Not enough time and also know this is a very limited market due to the data requirements needed by AHDB.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
