Scottish Government: Electronic Tendering - from March 2006, Social Research moved to an electronic tendering process, with tenders being issued through the easy-to-use and cost effective eProcurementScotl@nd service. With the advent of electronic communications much of the paperwork involved in formal tendering procedures can be replaced with electronic equivalents that are both secure and legally binding. Social Research sees numerous benefits to e-tendering for both the contractors and for the Executive.
Defra publishes a regular booklet of economic and social research which the Department is expecting to commission from external researchers
