What the buyer says

WRAP is looking to engage an organisation with applied behavioural science expertise to design, adapt and evaluate guest-side interventions that reduce plate waste in up to 20 FLARE pilot sites across Europe and India, without degrading the guest experience. The work covers three settings, and the following segments: Setting A – Hotel buffets (breakfast and lunch) in luxury, premium and all-inclusive hotels. Setting B – Banquets and events in hospitality (weddings, conferences and other events), where the client or organiser shapes much of the outcome before the event. Setting C – Corporate catering buffets run by contract caterers, where the same diners return every day. Indicatively, around one third of sites will fall in each setting. The final number and mix of sites will be confirmed during the project and may be lower than 20. Division of roles. WRAP and its local partners recruit the sites and carry out all on-site work: baseline and post-intervention food waste measurement, implementation of the interventions together with site staff, and data collection. The successful bidder will work remotely and is not expected to travel to sites.
