Notice Title

Provision of Analysis of Consultation Responses for: National plan to end the need for foodbanks

Notice Description

The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, is seeking to commission a Contractor to undertake the analysis of responses to the public consultation on the national plan to end the need for food banks. The overall aim of the contract is provide robust and timely analysis and reporting on the responses to the consultation, to inform the development of a final plan.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The overall aim of the contract is to produce a clear and concise report for publication, which reflects a robust and systematic analysis of responses to the consultation and outputs from workshops. The specific objectives of the project 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. e mail 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. (An initial check by SG officials shows we have received multiple submissions of a single campaign response which appear to be mostly standard, i.e. each using the same text.) 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 organisational responses). 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 and fit within moderation policy guidelines. c. Undertake a transparent, rigorous and systematic analysis of the valid consultation responses, with reference to respondent categories and response types where relevant. d. Incorporate into the analysis and reporting additional information gathered from 10 lived experience workshops which will be passed on to the Contractor by the policy team. e. 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. f. Provide an interim report with a specific focus on all responses to Question 4 of the consultation which is an open-ended question and has been identified as a policy priority. 278 respondents (both individuals and organisations) specifically answered question 4 (question 4 at annex A). g. Provide a list of any references to additional materials (e.g. academic research, reports, weblinks) provided in consultation responses.
