## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has completed the procurement process for the project titled "EHRC 2021-22 Civil Society Capacity Building and Reporting: CERD". This initiative falls under the industry category of equal opportunities consultancy services and aims to engage experienced contractors with expertise in racial discrimination to support civil society in holding the government accountable for its human rights obligations. The project, which began on 11th January 2021 and ends on 31st July 2021, was procured through an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 10th December 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with a focus on social research and consultancy services. Companies with a strong background in human rights, social activism, or consultancy related to racial equality will find this contract a fitting match for their capabilities, potentially allowing them to expand their services and enhance their impact within the community.

## Notice

We are looking for a suitably experienced contractor(s) with expert knowledge of racial discrimination issues to engage with a UN review of the UK. The aims of this project are to empower and support civil society to hold government to account for its human rights obligations. We seek to use the UK's next review under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) to improve CSOs knowledge of the international human rights framework, ensure they are easily able to share evidence of their concerns and coordinate their efforts to effectively speak with one voice through a joint independent submission to the CERD Committee.
