What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Scottish Government’s Office of the Chief Economic Adviser (OCEA) is seeking to commission a macroeconometric model for Scotland for economic scenario analysis and macroeconomic forecasting for both Scotland and the rest of the UK. This is part of enhancing and maintaining OCEA’s analytical capacity and will build on the suite of existing models that OCEA currently has access to. The outputs from the Model will be used to inform policy development in the Scottish Government, support Scottish Ministers and will be incorporated into the broader analysis of the Scottish economy that OCEA publishes.
