This procurement process falls under the 'services' industry category, specifically targeting social research services. Craigforth Consultancy and Research in Stirling has been awarded the contract, valued at £45,490, for providing a mixed methods analysis of consultation responses related to the Housing (Scotland) Bill. This analysis will inform the next stage of the Parliamentary process. The procurement process was conducted via a straightforward tender method and will conclude by the end of the contract in early October 2025. This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in social research and policy analysis. Businesses with expertise in legislative consultations, data analysis, and report production should consider similar opportunities as they arise. The Scottish Government's requirement for a detailed analytical approach means that organisations offering robust and timely analysis capabilities are well-suited to compete for such tenders. The contract also highlights the potential for long-term partnerships with governmental bodies through consistent delivery of quality outputs. ## Notice This tender aims to procure an independent, robust and timely mixed methods analysis of the responses to a consultation on technical aspects of the Housing (Scotland) Bill legislation, in particular possible exemptions from rent control restrictions, use of a modified rent cap in certain circumstances and for joint tenancies. This tender would involve providing quality assured findings, presented in the form of a clear and concise interim output and based on analysis of the full dataset, in time to inform the next stage of the Parliamentary process for the Housing (Scotland) Bill, which likely means producing interim or draft reporting and a presentation to SG by the end of August at the latest; and producing a clear and concise final report which meets Scottish Government publication standards before the end of the contract. The outputs of this tender will inform ongoing policy development. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG537111 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | 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 | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 10 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £45,490 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | FALKIRK COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; FORTH VALLEY COLLEGE; GLASGOW CALEDONIAN UNIVERSITY; NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND; UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 7AU | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 24 | | Supplier names | ALPHA MARKETING; BREWSTER BROTHERS; CRAIGFORTH CONSULTANCY AND RESEARCH; ECON ENGINEERING; GLOBAL HSE SOLUTIONS; GMC CORSEHILL; HARPER MACLEOD; HARVEY NASH; HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT; HIGHWATER (SCOTLAND; HOLMES MILLER; HYPOSTYLE DESIGNS; KNOXFIELD ESTATE SERVICES; LAND USE CONSULTANTS; LUCE BAY PLANT HIRE; MORAY MARINE SOLUTIONS; MPHASIS; POWATEC; SANDERSON GOVERNMENT AND DEFENCE; SPINWELL GLOBAL; STORRIER & DONALDSON; THE LINES BETWEEN; VENESKY BROWN; WYLIE SHANKS ARCHITECTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 15 Aug 2025 at 13:39 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG537111 ## Notice URLs - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://www.falkirk.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.forthvalley.ac.uk - http://www.https://www.gcu.ac.uk/aboutgcu/services-and-facilities/finance/procurement - http://www.nhsggc.scot/about-us/procurement/ - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://www.socialsecurity.gov.scot/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
