This procurement process is managed under an open procedure, targeting services related to research and data analysis in the general public services industry category. The tender is active with key deadlines, including a submission closing date set for 14th July 2025 at 12:00 PM, followed by the award period starting the same day at 1:00 PM. Located in Edinburgh, UK, the procurement seeks innovative approaches and survey methodologies to assist in tracking consumer behaviour as mandated by the Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024. The contracting procedure is conducted electronically, emphasising the need for participants to adhere to specific insurance and qualification requirements. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data collection, surveying, and research analysis to showcase their expertise in contributing to Scotland's circular economy. Companies that excel in developing robust methodologies and providing in-depth analytical reports would find success in this procurement process. Additionally, businesses with strong foundations in handling public service projects, and those meeting the specific insurance criteria detailed in the tender, are particularly well-suited to compete. This contract not only offers financial growth prospects but also positions participating companies as key contributors to sustainable development initiatives in Scotland. ## Notice The Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024 establishes a legal framework to help Scotland advance further in the transition to a circular economy and includes a specific requirement for Scottish Ministers to develop a new CE strategy. The Scottish Government has been developing the CEMIF to inform the development of the strategy and to track progress towards a CE. The draft framework includes a Vision for the circular economy in Scotland to 2045 and underlying eight specific outcomes (see below), two of which (7 and 8) specifically concern societal activities and behaviours. ### Lot Information Lot 1 There are two key requirements in this commissioned research: 1. Development of a set of survey questions and appropriate survey methodology that can serve as a revised "Consumer Behaviours Tracker" for Scotland; 2.
