The primary aims of this project are to assess whether a browser-based nutrition education intervention delivered through in-cell technology in combination with the implementation of a new menu system, at various prisons can: - Improve the nutritional quality of dietary choices and through this, improve self-reported health and wellbeing. - Deliver insight into the relative proportion of food waste created in prison kitchens, serveries and cells so that we can target future interventions. - Identify the meals that are wasted most frequently over the course of three prison menu cycles and understand the reasons why. - Understand whether a correlation exists between the nutritional quality of food and food waste. - Understand whether a correlation exists between food, food waste and prisoner well-being and behaviour ## CPV classification Social research services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/57c994de-acde-413d-9a98-c06ad0d558a5) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
