Analysis will require identification of possible impacts of policies around aspects including, health, new jobs, ecological benefits, wider Scottish economic benefits. The extent of this impact should be estimated through a combination of public data, Scottish Government reports, data and modelling, and details from the policies discussed with SG officials. Where possible this should be quantified. Once the analysis is completed, the supplier will also be required to fully write up the impact assessments, in line with the Scottish Government's corporate requirements. It is anticipated the contract will commence in November 2021 and all impact assessments must be completed in Q1 of 2022. An Invitation to Quote will be issued via the PCS Quick Quote portal to any suppliers who register their interest by 11 October 2021.
