## Summary

The Scottish Government, via its Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate, has awarded a contract to WPI Economics for the project titled "Award of DTCPSJ: Poverty and Inequality Commission: Child Poverty Modelling". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on the design and execution of research and development (CPV code: 73300000). Located in Glasgow, this tender has progressed to the award stage as of 30th January 2025. The primary objective of this project is to procure economic modelling research that will aid the Poverty and Inequality Commission in understanding how policy levers impact child poverty outcomes in Scotland, with a detailed analysis for specific at-risk sub-groups.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for research and consultancy firms with expertise in economic modelling, poverty, and inequality studies. Companies that specialise in policy impact assessment and have experience with economic models such as UKMOD or the IPPR tax-benefit model would find this project particularly fitting. The awarded contract, valued at £33,575, includes the development of a comprehensive research report along with supplementary outputs that will provide critical insights for policy decisions aimed at achieving Scotland's child poverty targets. This presents a strategic growth opportunity for businesses aiming to enhance their portfolio and influence in the public sector advisory domain.

## Notice

The Poverty and Inequality Commission is an advisory non-departmental public body that has statutory functions to provide advice and scrutiny to Scottish Ministers on matters related to poverty and inequality.The Commission wants to procure economic modelling research to better understand how policy levers affect child poverty outcomes for Scotland overall, and for specific sub-groups at greater risk of poverty.This research will build on work previously commissioned by the Commission, and that produced by others in Scotland. It will model and report quantitative estimates (where possible) on the effect of modifying various policy inputs using updated input data for Scotland and parameters determined by the Commission's areas of interest, in relation to Scotland's child poverty targets.It will be conducted using an established economic model (e.g. UKMOD or the IPPR tax-benefit model), with the final output from the procured research being a research report including an executive summary and other associated outputs (e.g. supplementary tables and technical annexes) prepared for the Commission.
