The procurement process aims to commission research on routine data collection with Gypsy Traveller Communities to address accommodation needs across Scotland. The anticipated budget for this project is £49,999 GBP, with the tender expected to go live in June/July 2023 and the contract starting in August 2023. This tender opportunity provides a platform for businesses involved in services related to research and data collection targeting Gypsy Traveller communities. Companies offering mixed methods research services and experience in engaging with diverse populations would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, presents opportunities for businesses to contribute to improving data collection practices and addressing housing needs for marginalized communities in Scotland. ## Notice The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a piece of research exploring routine data collection with Gypsy Traveller Communities with a view to addressing evidence gaps across the country around accommodation needs. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The intention is that the research will: - explore the lived experience of Gypsy Travellers, in engaging with routine forms of data collection - engage with Local Authorities and other stakeholders to understand gaps in data currently available and challenges related to routine data collection on the needs of Gypsy/Travellers in reporting for Housing Needs and Demands Assessments (HNDAs) - make recommendations for ways to improve and standardise data collection and reporting with/about Gypsy Traveller communities across all Local Authorities in Scotland. This has a practical focus, aimed at producing a toolkit to improve the way that Local Housing Strategies (LHS) reflect the needs of Gypsy/Travellers and helping Local Authorities to meet their duties under the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 in relation to Local Development Planning and Evidence Reports. Additional information It is anticipated that the research will extend over 12 months. It will likely be a mixed methods project, although we will welcome suggested methodologies from bidders that fit the brief. The anticipated budget for this work is 49,999 GBP. We anticipate that this tender will go live in June/July 2023. Current anticipated start for the contract is August 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY479304 | | 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 | 24 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 May 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £49,999 | | 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 - 70 - Real estate services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 70333000 - Housing services - 73110000 - Research services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 24 May 2023 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY479304 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAY479304&idx=1 24th May 2023 - Gypsy Traveller Accommodation Toolkit PIN and link to RFI - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY479304 Gypsy Traveller Accommodation Toolkit Prior Information Notice - The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a piece of research exploring routine data collection with Gypsy Traveller Communities with a view to addressing evidence gaps across the country around accommodation needs. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000732957 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=732957 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
