The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing any interested party to participate. This initiative is aimed at standardising methodologies for defining local areas and their impacts for marine developments. This procurement opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in economic analysis, environmental consultancy, and marine sector assessments. Companies well-versed in socioeconomic research and methodologies will find this tender particularly suited for their expertise. The open nature of the tender invites competition from diverse stakeholders, creating an advantageous space for businesses aiming to expand their portfolios in public sector projects related to environmental impact assessment and marine policy development. ## Notice 5 This research aims to review current methods of identifying the local footprint for socioeconomic impacts and provide recommendations towards standardising how a local area is defined and measured for marine developments. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Review the methodology used to define 'local areas' across different renewables developments and other marine sectors. Developments and sectors used in the review will be determined by a project steering group. Produce a set of principles for identifying the local area of impact based on review findings and test these using completed or on-going developments as case studies. Provide recommendations on approaches and methodologies on creating local boundaries for use by developers and decision-makers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB344195 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 2 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Dec 2018 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £47,100 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Post town | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB11 9DB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BIGGAR ECONOMICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 5 Feb 2019 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB344195 - 4 Sep 2018 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP330154 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP330154&idx=1 4th September 2018 - ITT Docs - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP330154&idx=2 4th September 2018 - FAQs - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP330154 CR/2018/11 - Defining 'local area' for assessing impact of offshore renewables and other .... - 5 This research aims to review current methods of identifying the local footprint for socioeconomic impacts and provide recommendations towards standardising how a local area is defined and measured for marine developments. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB344195 CR/2018/11 - Defining 'local area' for assessing impact of offshore renewables and other .... - 5 This research aims to review current methods of identifying the local footprint for socioeconomic impacts and provide recommendations towards standardising how a local area is defined and measured for marine developments. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000556135 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
