## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a tender for research aimed at exploring and evaluating international mechanisms that revalue women’s work, to support its Gender Pay Gap Action Plan. This procurement process is currently in the active stage and is classified under services, with a total value of £20,000. The tender period is set to close on 15 February 2021 at 16:00, with the contract expected to commence on 26 February 2021 and run through to 25 June 2021. Bids were accepted electronically, and the primary delivery location is in the UKM75 region, involving general public services as the main industry category.

This research presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in gender equality advocacy, social research, or economic analysis, particularly those with experience in evaluating public sector initiatives. Firms that can provide insights into international best practices or have a strong understanding of gender equity issues in the labour market would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, domestic and international companies within the consultancy sector that focus on social impacts may find this an excellent opportunity to showcase their expertise and contribute to meaningful advancements in gender equity.

## Notice

The aim of this research is to improve understanding of international mechanisms that aim to revalue, or result in the revaluation of, women's work. This research is taken forward as part of Scottish Government's work to promote gender equality and reduce the gender pay gap through the Gender Pay Gap Action Plan.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission research to improve understanding of international mechanisms that aim to revalue, or result in the revaluation of, women's work. This research is taken forward as part of Scottish Government's work to promote gender equality and reduce the gender pay gap through the Gender Pay Gap Action Plan . It therefore starts from a position of considerable evidence showing that women are at a disadvantage in the labour market and that women's work is generally undervalued, as summarised in the following sections. Undervaluation is defined as women receiving lower pay for their education and work experience compared to men. This research is not asking for further proof of the undervaluation of women's work, but for the identification of practical mechanisms and approaches that have been utilised internationally to seek to redress the balance between men and women in the labour market along with reasoned analysis of their effectiveness and applicability.
