## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is initiating a procurement process for a research project titled "Prior Information Notice - 'Measuring Up?' - Monitoring and Enforcement". This contract falls under the category of social research services and is located in Manchester, England. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a budget period running from April 1, 2016, to March 31, 2017. Invitations to tender are anticipated to be issued in early 2017, with the contract period set to commence on February 10, 2017.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in social research methodologies.

## Notice

Since 2013, the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Scotland has run 'Measuring Up?', a programme monitoring the performance of listed authorities in response to the introduction of the Scottish specific equality duties. The Commission's draft Business Plan 2017/18 includes the last phase of this programme. From April 2017 we plan to assess the publications which will complete the initial four-year reporting cycle for 250-plus listed authorities and make recommendations to Scottish Ministers based on our findings. We expect to issue an invitation to tender for a research project to support this assessment early in 2017. Please register at the Commission's procurement portal to receive further information about this opportunity, when it is available: https://procurement.equalityhumanrights.com/procontract/ehrc/ supplier.nsf/frm_home?ReadForm The full tender pack will be released on Commission's portal, including a full specification with a timetable for submitting bids. Please be aware that this notice should only be viewed as an indication of the Commission's plans at this stage and we reserve the right to not launch this opportunity.
