This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in equality, social research, and related consultancy services.

Given the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the tender suitability, businesses of these types may find valuable avenues for growth by engaging with public sector contracts that focus on social impact and governance compliance.
