Notice Title

Participation Panel to Support the First Minister's National Advisory Council on Women and Girls

Notice Description

The Scottish Government on behalf of Scottish Ministers has a requirement to establish a dedicated participation panel of women to support phase two of The First Minister's National Advisory Council on Women and Girls activity. The National Advisory Council on Women and Girls (NACWG) was set up in 2017 by the Scottish Government to provide independent advice to the First Minister on improving gender equality in Scotland. A package of recommendations was developed over three years that Phase One NACWG believed would kick start systemic change in a positive direction. All recommendations from these three annual reports have been accepted. Phase Two NACWG launched on 31 March 2022 and has a core model of scrutiny, in which the NACWG will hold the Scottish Government to account over the implementation of the accepted recommendations.

Lot Information

Lot 1

A dedicated participation panel of women (the Panel) is to be convened to support Phase Two of NACWG activity. The successful tenderer will establish and coordinate the Panel of around 20 women from grassroot organisations and be part of a wider network who are not usually given a voice in this type of space. The participation work will be led by lived experience and the re-distribution of power will be at the heart of the participation process. The overarching objective for the Panel is to work with the NACWG in their accountability process by providing lived experience expertise on how Phase One NACWG recommendations need to be implemented for them to have a tangible positive difference to women's lives. The Panel will also analyse, discuss and develop solutions to be recommended to the NACWG on specific topics relevant to the current landscape and relevant to their lives. Members of the Panel will be supported to do this role through capacity building workshops on gender equality, policy development and intersectionality alongside mentoring style support to ensure that they have the skills they feel they need to fully participate. A demand-led approach will be taken with the group identifying its own support needs.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Renewal: The contract has the option to extend by two twelve month periods, at the sole discretion of Scottish Ministers.
