Description

Since 2013, the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Scotland has run 'Measuring Up?', a programme monitoring the performance of listed authorities in response to the introduction of the Scottish specific equality duties.

The Commission's draft Business Plan 2017/18 includes the last phase of this programme. From April 2017 we plan to assess the publications which will complete the initial four-year reporting cycle for 250-plus listed authorities and make recommendations to Scottish Ministers based on our findings.

We expect to issue an invitation to tender for a research project to support this assessment early in 2017.

Please register at the Commission's procurement portal to receive further information about this opportunity, when it is available:
