Insights to date have been be delivered to a range of beneficiaries in departments of Scottish and UK Governments to support their response to the pandemic and further work is required to continue to develop these insights as well as ongoing development of the Economic Observatory and other related GOFCoE projects. To continue to support GOFCoE in these areas, the University requires ongoing support from a service provider who is certain they can meet the demanding time scales and criteria of this highly technical requirement.
