The tender, which was initiated on 7 December 2018 and concluded with an award dated 14 January 2019, required desk-based research addressing regionalisation in an international context and its implications for inclusive economic benefit in Scotland. The principal activity in this process follows a successful open procurement method, with Oxford Economics being awarded a contract valued at £41,055, active until 29 March 2019. This procurement presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in economic research and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in regional economic development and policy analysis. Firms specialising in social research, economic consultancy, or data analysis would be well-placed to engage in similar tenders, helping to foster regional partnerships that enhance the effectiveness of economic strategies in Scotland. The insights derived from this research could significantly contribute to policy formation and implementation, offering a pathway for growth within these sectors. ## Notice SFT are seeking tenders from organisations to undertake primarily desk-based research in relation to three key strands: - Understanding regionalisation in an international context; - How regionalisation or regional policy can be pursued for inclusive economic benefit in Scotland; and - How developing regional economic partnerships can support well-functioning regional economies.
