Lot Information

Lot 1

The overall aim of the contract is to produce a series of clear and concise reports for publication, which reflects a robust and systematic analysis of responses to the consultations and can be used to inform the wider Health Improvement agenda. This includes work to inform the Public Health Bill. The specific objectives for each consultation are to: a. Ensure that all consultation responses are accurately captured in a master database alongside respondent information and any requests for anonymity. This will require processing the information received in non-standard response formats (e.g. email attachments, campaign responses) and may involve some manual data entry. b. Identify any blank, duplicate or campaign responses, as well as any other anomalies, using procedures outlined in the Methods Section 6 below. Ensure that these responses are processed, analysed and reported on accordingly, using procedures agreed with the Scottish Government. Confirm the final number of valid responses received, in total and by respondent category (i.e. individual and organisation). NB: Any response to a consultation is valid provided that it is relevant to the subject matter of the consultation. For clarity - that means that no fields on the Respondent Information Form are mandatory for individuals: anonymous responses are valid provided that they relate to the subject matter c. Undertake a transparent, rigorous and systematic analysis of the valid consultation responses, with reference to respondent categories and response types where relevant. d. Produce a high quality, balanced and impartial report of the analysis, ensuring that the full range and nature of views are presented. Further information on the content and structure of the report are outlined in Sections 6 and 7 below and will be agreed at the inception meeting. e. Provide a list of any references to additional materials (e.g. academic research, reports, weblinks) provided in consultation responses.

Renewal: Following the end of the initial 12 month term, the contract maybe extended by a period of up to 6 months.
