## Summary

Consumer Scotland, based in Edinburgh, has commissioned Ipsos to conduct follow-up research titled "Award of Provision of Follow-up research with those who took part in the 'Water, Climate change and Scotland’s Future' research." This service-oriented procurement falls within the research services category and pertains to analysing the long-term impact of previous communications on participants. The procurement process started on 10th November 2024 and is expected to run until 1st October 2025, with the contract directly awarded to Ipsos on 10th October 2024.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for firms specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in environmental and climate change communication analysis. Businesses capable of conducting in-depth follow-up studies and interpreting participant feedback over extended periods would be particularly suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The direct awarding of the contract to Ipsos without competition highlights the potential for well-established research firms to secure significant projects by establishing strong relationships with public sector clients like Consumer Scotland.

## Notice

1. Consumer Scotland is looking to commission follow up research with the participants who took part in the "Water, Climate change and Scotland's Future" research we commissioned in 2024 to find out which, if any, messages from the dialogue particularly resonated with participants and if these have remained with participants in the months since the process ended.
