Notice Description
The Scottish Government wishes to commission independent econometric analysis to establish what constitutes fair postal delivery charging in remote and rural areas of Scotland.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Scottish Government wishes to commission independent econometric analysis to establish what constitutes fair postal delivery charging in remote and rural areas of Scotland. This analysis may be accompanied and reinforced by reference to relevant existing research, and should enable the Scottish Government to develop an easy-to-use online hub that will allow anyone to establish if a delivery price is outwith what should reasonably be expected. The aim of the hub will be to provide transparency to consumers, retailers and delivery companies, and will form part of the Scottish Government's wider plan to ensure that action to drive change is focused on the right solutions to the right problems.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.
