The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 2nd February 2017. This opportunity for social research services, valued at £9,950, requires interested parties to register at the EHRC's procurement portal to access further details. The contract is anticipated to commence on 13th February 2017 and run until 31st March 2017, covering various locations including the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social research services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in developing and evaluating social security systems that prioritise dignity and respect will be particularly well-placed to compete. By engaging in this procurement, successful bidders can help shape future policies while contributing to meaningful societal changes across the regions served by the EHRC. ## Notice The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) promotes and enforces the laws that protect our rights to fairness, dignity and respect. We are the National Equality Body (NEB) for Scotland, England and Wales, working across the nine protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010: age, disability, race, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership, sex, sexual orientation and gender reassignment. The Scotland Committee is a statutory decision-making committee and is responsible for ensuring the overall work of the Commission reflects the needs and priorities of the people of Scotland. The Committee has delegated powers to: provide information, advice and guidance and, to conduct research in Scotland. The Scotland Committee has identified the need to undertake research which explores social security systems in a number of other jurisdictions, focusing on aspects of systems based on dignity and respect. The aims of this project are: * To provide EHRC Scotland with evidence on aspects of social security systems elsewhere that offer examples of best practice and could be said to be founded on the principles of dignity and respect. * To provide evidence on how these mechanisms have been devised, implemented and measured elsewhere, and how these could potentially be applied to Scotland's new social security system.
