Opportunity overview

Since November 2022, WRAP and partners have been working on the LED 4 Food project. This is a Defra funded, multiyear project on improving public data which will be achieved by updating, harmonising and simplifying the Hestia platform, creating an accessible web-based database and testing outputs with UK businesses via UKFDP. Defra needs to understand and report the environmental impact of activities related to the agri-food system. At present, the available data, standards, methodologies and tools for effective monitoring, reporting and validation (MRV) of the environmental impact data from the agri-food system is limited and generally provided by a diversity of disjointed initiatives with differing level of quality. To enable company level scope 3 emissions reporting and food eco-labelling requires accessible, high quality, reliable data sources, standardised for the entire food system. This project aims to support this objective through the production of high quality, trusted data to measure the environmental impact of agricultural and food products and activities within the agri-food system. WRAP are therefore looking to procure a data supplier to work with Oxford University, project partners on LED4Food (VFU041-GEN), to improve the breadth, quality and specificity of environmental impact data for agricultural products and food products on the (publicly available) HESTIA database.

Why this procedure was chosen
WRAP wish to directly award Cool Farm as they are best placed to deliver this work. They hold the type of data WRAP require to plug gaps in the HESTIA database. Oxford have worked hard to develop this relationship and have been in negotiations with Cool Farm to establish a data sharing agreement. This has not been a straightforward process as private companies are cautious of sharing their data publicly, so we’ve done a lot of groundwork to get to this point.
