The brief

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 11:00am on Monday, 29th November 2021.

DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.

Brief Description of Requirement There is a general shortage of rich data on equality outcomes for businesses in the UK.

In particular, for this project, we are interested in aggregate indicators of business success for organisations with historically disadvantaged groups in the senior leadership team, including looking at intersectional outcomes.

For example, what is the size and growth performance of majority women-led businesses?

What sectors do Chinese-led businesses tend to operate in?

What about the performance of businesses run by Black African women?

We are interested in looking at major ethnic groups separately, rather than treating them as a "BME" or "BAME" business.

This is as other information suggests that the business outcomes and barriers vary widely by ethnic minority group, for example for cultural, geographical, class or historic reasons.

We are mainly interested in the for-profit sector in this project.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.
