Expressions of interest sought for: Literature review relating to
disability and employment in the United Kingdom
The National Audit Office (NAO), the independent body that reports to
Parliament on how public money is spent, is currently undertaking
preliminary work in the area of disability and employment. To inform our
understanding of the key issues we are looking for expressions of interest
from specialists in this field for a literature review covering:
• The barriers disabled people experience in accessing employment
• The obstacles disabled people experience to sustaining employment
• The effectiveness of specialist employment programmes for disabled
people
The review should cover, where appropriate, both published and grey
literature and qualitative data as well as quantitative studies. It should
consist of a number of subsections addressing different aspects or groups
of studies and draw high level findings together in a concluding section.
The maximum length for the literature review is 10,000 words, which should
be fully referenced and available in Microsoft Word format.
We would like to receive expressions of interest along with an outline of
the proposed approach (500 words maximum) and proposed cost by Friday 29th
October. The NAO contracts team will then contact the successful applicant
by Friday 5th November. The successful applicant will be required to submit
a final report by Wednesday 5th January. The possibility of earlier
completion would be looked upon favourably.
Expressions of interest and proposals can be sent by post to National Audit
Office, Room A675, 157-197 Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria, London, SW1W
9SP; or submitted by email.
