The Scottish Government and LARIA in Scotland are currently seeking to commission research into "The Statutory Requirements for Research in Central and Local Government in Scotland".
The aim of this research is to establish the work that government researchers (i.e. researchers in the Scottish Government and Scottish local government) need to do to meet present statutory requirements. Findings from this research will assist government researchers in managing resources to undertake their statutory duties and provide evidence of the full contribution that government researchers make to the core business of government in Scotland.
Expressions of Interest have been invited from contractors who wish to tender for this work. Further details on the background to this research and instructions on how to express an interest in the contract can be found on the Scottish Government web-site at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/topics/research
