Description

We are looking for a suitably experienced contractor (or contractors) to carry out two distinct lots of research:
- Lot 1 - an evidence gathering and mapping exercise to provide the Commission with a current picture of court modernisation in the Criminal Justice System in Scotland and the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales.
- Lot 2 - a survey of (a) criminal justice professionals in Scotland and England and Wales, and (b) individuals with first-hand experience of the provision of adjustments in the Criminal Justice system in Scotland and the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales

Bidders can choose to bid for both Lots or to bid for either Lot 1 or Lot 2.
The findings from this research will feed into a wider inquiry which will examine the procedural and practical adjustments that are required to ensure adult defendants/ accused with cognitive impairments, mental health conditions or neurodiverse conditions can participate equally and effectively in criminal proceedings against them in (a) England and Wales, and (b) Scotland, by looking at the experience of defendants/ accused with these impairments at the pre-trial stage of the criminal justice system.

We welcome proposals from potential contractors for these lots. The projects will begin immediately after the award of the contract. Lot 1 is expected to be completed in April 2019 and Lot 2 is expected to be completed in July 2019. Further information about the Lots is contained in the project specification.
