We are seeking a supplier to produce an essay on social mobility policy activity across each of the four nations. These essays will each form the core of a chapter of in the final State of the Nation report. The report will be structured with an opening chapter on key statistics on social mobility, followed by four chapters each with an essay summarising and appraising policy activity on social mobility in each of the four nations separately. This invite to tender is for an England essay. We have separate invites to tender out for essays on Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
