This procurement is relevant to the services category, with a focus on tracking societal behaviours as part of Scotland's strategy towards a circular economy. The procurement was carried out via an open procedure, reflecting an interest in engaging a broad range of suppliers. This process reached its award stage on 30th July 2025, with a contract signed with Progressive Partnership Ltd., based in Edinburgh. The procurement was completed as part of the requirements set forth by the Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024, aiming for a vision that extends to 2045, addressing key outcomes involving societal activities and behaviours. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in research and data analysis, especially those specialising in survey development and methodologies. The contract, valued at £51,958, provides an avenue for SMEs such as Progressive Partnership Ltd. to illustrate their capabilities in delivering public service solutions. Businesses with expertise in data collection, analysis, and reporting are well-suited to compete in such tenders, particularly within the UK's services sector. Participation in tenders of this nature can lead to growth by enabling firms to showcase innovative approaches and contribute to national strategies aligned with long-term sustainable goals. ## 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.
