This research contract has two key aims: 1. To enable members of, and those with links to, the Gypsy/Traveller communities in Scotland an opportunity to share their experiences of events arising from the implementation of these policies (primarily between 1940-1980 but it is acknowledged that key events preceded the implementation of the policies could be brought within scope). This could involve the sharing of experiences or stories. Some contributors may wish to share copies of photographs, paintings, letters and diaries to further illustrate their accounts. 2. To understand the impacts of these policies among Scotland's contemporary Gypsy/Traveller communities. Renewal: Contract extension is subject to approval by the SG contract manager. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT490863 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Dec 2023 - 30 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH11 3XD | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Sighthill/Gorgie | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 19 Oct 2023 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT490863 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT490863&idx=1 19th October 2023 - Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT490863&idx=2 19th October 2023 - Terms and Conditions - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT490863 PROVISION OF RESEARCH TO UNDERSTAND THE EXPERIENCES AND IMPACTS OF 20TH CENTURY POLICIES AFFECTING GYPSY/TRAVELLER COMMUNITIES IN SCOTLAND - The Scottish Government (SG), on behalf of Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission research to improve understanding of historic state policies targeted at Gypsy/Traveller communities in Scotland during the 20th Century, colloquially known as the "Tinker Experiment" and "Tinker Housing Experiments". ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000748053 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=748053 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
