## Summary

The Welsh Government, acting as the buying organization, has completed a tender process for the 'Social Model of Disability Research' project. The procurement involved a 19-month research contract aiming to develop a suite of research questions and guidance consistent with the Social Model of Disability. The tender was managed by the Welsh Government's Corporate Procurement Services in Cardiff, UK. The contract has been awarded to the National Centre for Social Research, with a value of £255,435, signed on 15th February 2024.

This procurement opportunity offers businesses in the services sector a chance to contribute to social research aligned with the Social Model of Disability. Companies well-versed in conducting demographic surveys and experienced in cognitive testing methodologies would be well-suited to compete. The open procedure for this contract provides an opportunity for organisations with expertise in disability research to engage with the Welsh Government and potentially grow their business by delivering valuable insights that align with the project's objectives.

## Notice

The Welsh Government will award a 19-month research contract for the development and cognitive testing of a set of demographic survey questions and guidance that are consistent with the Social Model of Disability. The aim of the contract is to develop a suite of research questions and response options that reflect the Social Model of Disability and enable a standardised, consistent approach. Concurrently, guidance must be developed which outlines the type of question to use and when. For example, what questions could or should be asked, for what purpose, and in which survey? Research into questions for children and young people as well as adults, would be beneficial and relevant to the Student Health and Well Being surveys, for example, which Welsh Government fund every two years. Research into other models of disability would also need to be undertaken to assess whether there is a need to create a question set based on the Biopsychosocial Model of Disability, for example, in addition to a suite of questions based on the Social Model of Disability.
