Lot Information
Lot 1
We need a confidential, reliable, flexible and resilient editing service. The supplier will provide one or more editors who will personally review our confidential draft reports and: - suggest plain language edits to improve readability and structure. For example: minimising jargon and passive language, supporting simple and direct sentences. - make suggestions for tightening our report writing by shrinking the word count, ensuring this does not change the key messages and meaning of the report. - advise on compliance with Audit Scotland's house style guide, including our report-writing style guide, to support high standards of syntax, grammar and punctuation. However, the overall focus of the editing service should be more on plain language advice than general proofreading.
