## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently in the Award stage of the procurement process for the "Award of Workplace Equality Fund Evaluation and Future Scoping Exercise," which falls under the services industry category. The tender period commenced on 22nd February 2021 and is set to conclude on 23rd April 2021. This initiative is intended to evaluate previous Workplace Equality Funds and to scope a future fund, particularly in light of the economic implications of Covid-19 and Brexit. The buying organisation, located at 1G South, Edinburgh, is welcoming bids from qualified research agencies.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for research consultancy firms looking to expand their client portfolio in the public sector, particularly those with experience in workplace equality evaluations and public fund assessments. Businesses adept in synthesising large data sets, demonstrating understanding of governmental priorities, and offering innovative funding solutions will be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. With a total contract value of £23,067.05, successful suppliers will bolster their reputation and capacity for future engagements with the Scottish Government and similar entities.

## Notice

The Scottish Government wishes to engage with an experienced and qualified research agency to:1. evaluate the completed Workplace Equality Funds (WEF) 2018/19 and 2019/20, and the ongoing Workplace Equality Fund 2021 (delivery period Jan-March 2021); and2. undertake a scoping exercise to design a future fund that takes lessons from the previous two programmes of delivery and the current programme which ends in March 2021. This will take into account current government priorities and place this work in the context of promoting workplace equality in the current economic situation, taking account of the implications and impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit.
