## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission recently completed a public procurement contract titled "EHRC 1819-60 Adjustments in the criminal justice system in Great Britain". This project falls under the industry category of "Equal opportunities consultancy services" and is located across various regions in the United Kingdom, including Scotland, England, and Wales. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender initially published on 30 January 2019 and the tender period concluding on 21 February 2019. The contract, awarded on 26 February 2019, encompasses two distinct research lots with respective completion dates set for April and July 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in comprehensive research within the criminal justice system. Suitable competitors may include firms with expertise in social research services and consultancy, especially those focusing on equal opportunities and adjustments for individuals with cognitive impairments or mental health conditions. The insights generated from this research could also lead to additional funding or future contracts related to improvements in the justice system.

## Notice

We are looking for a suitably experienced contractor (or contractors) to carry out two distinct lots of research: - Lot 1 - an evidence gathering and mapping exercise to provide the Commission with a current picture of court modernisation in the Criminal Justice System in Scotland and the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales. - Lot 2 - a survey of (a) criminal justice professionals in Scotland and England and Wales, and (b) individuals with first-hand experience of the provision of adjustments in the Criminal Justice system in Scotland and the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales Bidders can choose to bid for both Lots or to bid for either Lot 1 or Lot 2. The findings from this research will feed into a wider inquiry which will examine the procedural and practical adjustments that are required to ensure adult defendants/ accused with cognitive impairments, mental health conditions or neurodiverse conditions can participate equally and effectively in criminal proceedings against them in (a) England and Wales, and (b) Scotland, by looking at the experience of defendants/ accused with these impairments at the pre-trial stage of the criminal justice system. We welcome proposals from potential contractors for these lots. The projects will begin immediately after the award of the contract. Lot 1 is expected to be completed in April 2019 and Lot 2 is expected to be completed in July 2019. Further information about the Lots is contained in the project specification.
