II.1.4) Short description
The Scottish Government intends to commission a Framework Agreement to support our commitment to increasing the use of participatory processes and to establish a person-centered approach across government. The Framework Agreement will ensure approaches taken to engage individuals and communities in decision making and policy design are meaningful, coordinated, ethical and proportionate.
This Framework will establish a robust and effective mechanism that provides the Scottish Government with a strategic, high quality and sustainable approach to routinely engage individuals on decisions, services, policies and legislation developed by government.
The Framework will enable policy areas across Scottish Government to identify, recruit and engage with organisations that have the skills and expertise required to design and deliver high quality, deliberative and inclusive participatory activities with a wide variety of people.
It is anticipated that the appointed suppliers will be both organisations operating at a national level and those working within specific communities. These organisations will engage with and represent a broad range of people, with particular representation of those identified as being seldom heard and furthest from decision making.
Please refer to the additional document section below to see the proposed lot categories.
