## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is conducting a tender for the "Measurement Framework Review (Lot 3)" to improve its measurement frameworks used in assessing equality and human rights in the UK. This procurement activity is currently complete, having been announced on 3rd January 2017. The process followed an open procurement method, and the contract period extends from 12th December 2016 to 31st March 2017. The project is classified under social research services, with a contract value of £24,705. The work is intended to enhance the Commission's statutory requirements for monitoring and reporting on equality and human rights.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social research services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs). Firms with experience in developing measurement frameworks, conducting social research, or working within the realms of equality and human rights would be well-positioned to compete for related future contracts. The insights gained from this procurement could significantly influence approaches to measuring fairness in Britain and broaden market opportunities for participants in this sector.

## Notice

Four measurement frameworks formed the basis for the evidence collection for the Commission's first report to Parliament, 'How fair is Britain' in 2010; the Human Rights Review in 2012; a series of research papers in 2012/13; and its most recent report to Parliament in October 2015, 'Is Britain Fairer?' (IBF). IBF is the first time the EHRC reported simultaneously on equality and human rights, making pragmatic use of the four measurement frameworks. We are now reviewing the different components of the measurement frameworks given the experience of conducting IBF, with a view to developing a single measurement framework that is sustainable over time. This will be used by the Commission to fulfil its statutory requirements to monitor and report on equality and human rights, inform its ongoing evidence collection and support the Commission's international treaty, legal and policy work more generally. This tender exercise is divided into three lots.
