Notice Title

Award of RESAS/014/25 - Circular Economy Strategy - Consultation Analysis - Lot 1

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 draft Circular Economy Strategy.This is the first draft circular economy strategy developed following the passage of the Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024. It will set out the rationale and benefits of a more circular economy within the wider economic framework and describes our overall vision to 2045 and the outcomes that we are working towards.The strategy is intended to provide a high-level framework for Scotland's transition to a circular economy, setting out a broad vision and outcomes as well as objectives, our governance arrangements and plans for monitoring and evaluating both the Strategy itself and the growth of Scotland's Circular Economy via a Circular Economy Monitoring and Impact Framework (CEMIF).The draft strategy aims to ensure that everyone, including children and young people can enjoy the life-supporting benefits the environment provides. This includes improving people's health and wellbeing, tackling poverty and inequalities, and supporting green jobs and businesses in the transition to net zero by 2045.The priorities set out in the strategy aim to support the achievement of our net-zero ambitions, the restoration of nature and a thriving economy that meets societal needs. It will aim to help reduce the negative global impact of our production and consumption and help people and businesses gain the skills and knowledge to benefitThe Strategy builds on Scotland's Circular Economy and Waste Route Map to 2030. While the Route Map focuses on more immediate actions linked to sustainable resource use and reducing the carbon impact of our waste, the Strategy will set out the strategic direction to 2045, which is about embedding circularity across the economy - by looking at sectors, systems and products. Future interventions that relate to the strategy may include policy proposals, potential legislative measures, and supporting activity to drive systemic change across production, consumption and disposal of materials and products in Scotland.The work required for the agency will include collation of, and then analysis of, the key feedback from stakeholders, both of their extended answers and response rates for the closed questions, in a quick and detailed manner. As we intend to publish the strategy ahead of the Scottish Parliament Election in 2026, our timescale is tight and therefore analysis and reporting of the data would need to be done within a short timescale of 3-4 week weeks of the consultation closing, dependent on the level of responses received to the consultation.The findings will be used to update a final version of the strategy for publication in in 2026.

        "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 draft Circular Economy Strategy.This is the first draft circular economy strategy developed following the passage of the Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024. It will set out the rationale and benefits of a more circular economy within the wider economic framework and describes our overall vision to 2045 and the outcomes that we are working towards.The strategy is intended to provide a high-level framework for Scotland's transition to a circular economy, setting out a broad vision and outcomes as well as objectives, our governance arrangements and plans for monitoring and evaluating both the Strategy itself and the growth of Scotland's Circular Economy via a Circular Economy Monitoring and Impact Framework (CEMIF).The draft strategy aims to ensure that everyone, including children and young people can enjoy the life-supporting benefits the environment provides. This includes improving people's health and wellbeing, tackling poverty and inequalities, and supporting green jobs and businesses in the transition to net zero by 2045.The priorities set out in the strategy aim to support the achievement of our net-zero ambitions, the restoration of nature and a thriving economy that meets societal needs. It will aim to help reduce the negative global impact of our production and consumption and help people and businesses gain the skills and knowledge to benefitThe Strategy builds on Scotland's Circular Economy and Waste Route Map to 2030. While the Route Map focuses on more immediate actions linked to sustainable resource use and reducing the carbon impact of our waste, the Strategy will set out the strategic direction to 2045, which is about embedding circularity across the economy - by looking at sectors, systems and products. Future interventions that relate to the strategy may include policy proposals, potential legislative measures, and supporting activity to drive systemic change across production, consumption and disposal of materials and products in Scotland.The work required for the agency will include collation of, and then analysis of, the key feedback from stakeholders, both of their extended answers and response rates for the closed questions, in a quick and detailed manner. As we intend to publish the strategy ahead of the Scottish Parliament Election in 2026, our timescale is tight and therefore analysis and reporting of the data would need to be done within a short timescale of 3-4 week weeks of the consultation closing, dependent on the level of responses received to the consultation.The findings will be used to update a final version of the strategy for publication in in 2026.",
