## Description

\*\*\*\*\* THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION \*\*\*\*\* This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the RM6018 CCS Research Marketplace DPS Brief Description of Requirement: The Transforming UK Food Systems Programme is one of the 34 programmes in the Strategic Priorities Fund \(SPF\) portfolio\. The SPF builds on Sir Paul Nurse's vision of a 'common fund', as recommended in his independent review of the Research Councils, to ensure that strategically important research and innovation which is not aligned with other funding programmes can seek direct support\.   The SPF is funded through the government's National Productivity Investment Fund \(NPIF\)\. with a combined total investment across the portfolio of around £830million\. A competitive fund, the SPF has the following objectives:  • Drive an increase in high-quality interdisciplinary research and innovation;  • Ensure that UKRI's investment links up effectively with Government departments' research priorities and opportunities; and  • Ensure the system is able to respond to strategic priorities and opportunities\. This evaluation activity is focussed on the Transforming UK Food Systems programme, rather than the SPF as a whole, however the evaluation will feed into the evaluation of the SPF fund\.
