Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking to commission a quantitative research project titled "Intra-household Distribution of Resources Survey" to assess changes in attitudes and experiences regarding resource distribution within households. This service-related procurement is managed through an open procedure, with electronic submissions accepted. The contract duration is expected to be four months, starting with tenders due by 12:00 BST on 5th May 2026, following which the award announcement will be made the same day at 12:30 BST. Valued at GBP 50,000, this project focuses on general public services within the region of Scotland (UKM) and will deliver data by September 2026. The research will require a technical report and may include an optional analysis report extending the contract by 2.5 months if chosen.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social research, particularly those with expertise in household surveys and data analysis. Ideal candidates are well-established entities capable of delivering comprehensive quantitative data along with required documentation such as project updates, inception reports, and technical reports. Firms adept at working with governmental bodies and those familiar with intra-household financial dynamics will be particularly well-suited. Given the open procurement method, this tender encourages competition and transparency, providing a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the social sciences sector to collaborate with a major governmental body and contribute to social justice initiatives in Scotland.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Intra-household Distribution of Resources Survey

Notice Description

The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers wishes to commission primary quantitative research to measure changes in attitudes and experiences of intra-household resource distribution. The duration of the contract is expected to be 4 months.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers wishes to commission primary quantitative research to measure changes in attitudes and experiences of intra-household resource distribution. This work will take the form of a quantitative survey of individuals living with their partner in households in Scotland on how they organise their income and financial responsibilities. The contract is expected to last four months with data being delivered in September 2026. Key outputs and deliverables include: - inception report - regular project updates - final version of questionnaire - finalised sampling strategy - full, clean, non-disclosive and weight dataset in a CSV file with codebook - technical report detailing survey methodology and sample. There is an option for us to commission a full analysis report too. The analysis report has been included as an optional output as the Scottish Government may decide to commission data collection through the tendering exercise but then perform the analysis and reporting internally. However, all tenderers should include the full analysis report in their proposals and provide separate costing for this element. If the reporting element was taken forward this would extend the contract by a further 2 1/2 months. The key output and deliverable from this element would be the full analysis report.

Renewal: The contract will include a one month no cost optional extension.
