Further information was provided in the Specification document that accompanied the Contract Notice. Lot 2: Qualitative research and analysis We chose not to prescribe the services to be deployed. Instead, the Contractor identified the most appropriate service solution through review of the specification and application of their expertise to provide a robust methodology for the sub-project that includes (but is not limited to): - Mapping of stakeholders along the value chain, considering power, influence (and interest), a just transition and inclusive participation; - Qualitative, semi-structured research interviews to gather insights on attitudes and behaviours that facilitate or hinder the move towards a circular textiles industry, and challenges and opportunities for product stewardship, considering a just transition, and analysis of findings, i This will require collaborative research design, interview schedule, data collection, transcription, and analysis.
