Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government wishes to commission a mixed methods review of evidence relating to the governance and scrutiny of mental health services in Scotland. The evidence review will establish current governance and scrutiny arrangements in Scotland, both at a local and national level. This will include the assurance processes used by Health Boards and IJBs, as well as the statutory roles, functions and powers of external scrutiny bodies such as Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), the Mental Welfare Commission (MWC) and the Care Inspectorate (CI).

The findings will be used to inform the development of future policy

Renewal: There will be an option to extend the contract for a further month, until 30/10/2022 if unforeseen circumstances lead to delays in the delivery of outputs.
