This initiative aims to appoint a service provider to delve into the dynamics of jury decision-making within the criminal justice system, particularly examining the current jury majority and three-verdict system. The procurement process followed an open procedure method and was scheduled for completion on 10th May 2017. The buyer's contact point is located in Glasgow, Scotland, and the total contract value is £500,000. This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in law, social sciences, or methodology development. Companies that are capable of employing mixed-method approaches, such as case simulation and literature reviews, would likely find themselves well-positioned to compete. Additionally, the procurement process encourages participation from firms that can demonstrate a commitment to community benefits, emphasising recruitment and training for disadvantaged individuals, which may enhance the social value of tender submissions. ## Notice The Scottish Government has appointed a Service Provider to undertake jury research. In the Programme for Government, the Scottish Government stated that we would commission "jury research to consider the dynamics of decision-making by juries, including the current jury majority and three verdict system, helping to inform future proposals for the reform of the criminal justice system". ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Cabinet Secretary for Justice has decided that the research should focus on the recommendations made by Lord Bonomy in his Post-corroboration Safeguards Report with two additional topics. The proposed research methodology will be a mixed-method approach using case simulation and literature review(s). The research will not involve actual or live criminal court cases and as such will not observe real jurors currently sitting on actual cases or ask questions of jurors about their past experience(s) of jury duty. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT299155 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 10 May 2017 | | Future notice date | 13 Mar 2017 | | Award date | 8 Sep 2017 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | £500,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8LU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 25 Oct 2017 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT299155 - 4 Apr 2017 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR279208 - 21 Nov 2016 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV264720 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV264720&idx=2 23rd January 2017 - Requested For Information (RFI) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV264720&idx=1 23rd November 2016 - Letter from the Cabinet Secretary for Justice to the Justice Committee on Jury Research (17.11.16) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV264720 Jury Research - The Scottish Government is looking to appoint a Service Provider to undertake jury research.
