Part 1 will be a broad consideration of levers for fair work within Scotland, while Part 2 will be a deeper dive into the levers available to use specifically in the Scottish hospitality industry. Part 1 aims contribute to the Fair Work Convention's overall knowledge base, and Part 2 will be an input to the Fair Work Convention's Inquiry into the hospitality industry which commenced in June 2022. The indicative budget for work to be undertaken is split accordingly - GBP 22,000 max (excluding VAT) for Part 1 and GBP 22,000 max (excl. VAT) for Part 2.",
