## Summary

The Scottish Land Commission has completed a public procurement process titled "Views and Experiences of Tenant Farmers and Landlords with regard to the Operation of Agents." This project aimed to gather insights through professional social surveys from both landlords and tenant farmers in Scotland. The procurement process was initiated under an open method and has now officially concluded, with the contract awarded on 18th September 2017. The procurement was categorised under services, and the budget for this project reached £40,000, with a significant emphasis on quality (70%) over cost (30%) in the evaluation of submissions. The contract is expected to deliver results by analysing qualitative and quantitative data fairly and independently.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in social research, surveys, and analysis, particularly those with expertise in agricultural contexts and stakeholder engagement. Companies that focus on qualitative and quantitative research methodologies would be well-positioned to compete for similar forthcoming contracts. With the Scottish Land Commission as the contracting authority, firms that can showcase their experience in handling agricultural and land reform projects will likely find considerable opportunities for growth through future tenders in this domain.

## Notice

This project will gather evidence on the views and experiences of landlords and tenants regarding their involvement with professionals engaged to conduct business on agricultural holdings. It will require 2 separate professional social surveys to be undertaken, one seeking the views of landlords and the other seeking the views of tenant farmers. Robust qualitative and quantitative results will be analysed and reported in a fair and independent manner.
