## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded the contract for the provision of Covid-19 Post-Shielding Research to The Diffley Partnership. The research study aims to understand behaviours, knowledge, and attitudes of individuals on Scotland's Highest Risk List during the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at £34,875, was signed on May 31, 2023. The procurement falls under the services category and commenced on June 1, 2023, with a tender deadline of February 1, 2024. The contract was awarded in Glasgow.

This opportunity creates business growth prospects for research and development services providers interested in consultancy services related to Covid-19 impact studies. Companies capable of conducting in-depth research to gather insights from high-risk populations would be well-suited to compete. Businesses offering specialised research services targeting vulnerable populations stand to benefit from participating in this tender process led by the Scottish Government's Procurement Services Division.

## Notice

The Scottish Government wishes to commission a research study amongst people who were on Scotland's Highest Risk List (formerly the Shielding List) to understand their behaviours, knowledge and attitudes at this point in the Covid-19 pandemic and compare this with research previously undertaken with this group.
