This research commission aims to evaluate the outcomes and process of changes to Gypsy/Traveller sites as a result of investment from the fund. The project is within the 'General public services' and 'Housing and community amenities' industry categories. The procurement method is a tender, with a deadline for future notice set for October 20, 2022. This tender by the Scottish Government offers opportunities for businesses in the services sector to contribute to a research project spanning potential 3 years. Businesses with expertise in evaluation methodologies, community engagement, and stakeholder collaboration are well-suited to compete. The project focuses on gathering key learning points from demonstration projects, developing site design guidelines, and informing future policy and funding decisions in the realm of Gypsy/Traveller accommodation. ## Notice The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a piece of research evaluating the outcomes and process of changes to Gypsy/Traveller sites as a result of investment from the Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation Fund. This research is being commissioned by the Better Homes Division (BET) of the Scottish Government (SG) on behalf of the Directorate for Local Government and Housing. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The intention is that an evaluation will: - ensure that key points of learning are gathered from demonstration projects to inform future projects and the final Gypsy/Traveller Site Design Guide; - provide a mechanism for bringing together and disseminating learning to a wider audience to promote site development; - inform future funding and policy decisions.. It is anticipated that the research will potentially extend over 3 years, in order to gather baseline and impact information from the projects. It will likely be a mixed methods evaluation project, although we will welcome suggested methodologies from bidders that fit the brief. The project will work with local authorities, local on-site Gypsy/Traveller communities and other key stakeholders. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT460747 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 Oct 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 79315000 - Social research services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 4 Oct 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT460747 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT460747 Gypsy/Traveller accommodation fund - The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a piece of research evaluating the outcomes and process of changes to Gypsy/Traveller sites as a result of investment from the Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation Fund.
