II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This procurement was undertaken through the CCS Research and Insights Dynamic Marketplace DPS (RM6126) following a further competition.<br/><br/>The Contractor will be undertaking a rapid literature review focusing on what works to tackle inequalities by regulators in different sectors and countries. <br/><br/>The review will assess promising approaches and necessary conditions for regulators to tackle inequalities in their work. <br/><br/>The intention is that this will provide new learning and insights on the challenges and successes of other regulators and inform how we should consider examples of good practice to contribute to our core ambition to tackle inequalities and compliance with equality and rights legislation. It should offer learning on the conditions that contribute to good regulation, and an understanding of what progress has been made by regulators in tackling inequalities, and, where possible, examples of innovative and creative approaches. <br/><br/>The review seeks to synthesise what is known about inequalities in regulation, and how this is conceptualised in other countries, as well as relevant evidence from other sectors. We propose this is supplemented by interviews with key regulators, oversight and supervisory bodies (including in other sectors/countries) to explore effective approaches and conditions which have worked to protect and promote equality and rights in their work.
