Ex-ante publicity notice for procurement procedure (€60 000.01 – Directive threshold) “Gender equality and the European Green Deal Socially Fair Transition – a thematic focus of the Gender Equality Index 2023”

Description of the contract

The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) envisages awarding a middle-value contract for research services on gender aspects of the European Green Deal to support the thematic focus of Gender Equality Index 2022 on the green transition.

Description of the requested services

EIGE launches this call for tender in order to contract a professional service provider that will carry out a study. The study will seek to contribute to building the knowledge base on the impacts of the transition towards a low-carbon society from a gender and intersectional perspective.

It will provide an overview of the gendered impacts of climate change, gender differences in contributions to climate change, differences in opportunities, behaviours and attitudes to mitigate climate changes at individual level. The scope will focus on two specific priority sectors of the European Green Deal ‘Socially Fair Transition’ namely Energy and Transportation.

The study does not aim to change the structure of the Gender Equality Index or its domains, but to provide a broader understanding of the gender (in)equalities and opportunities of the energy and transport sector.

The study is expected to draw on desk research, both quantitative and qualitative, as well as quantitative and qualitative secondary data sources originating from academia, civil society, social partners and governmental institutions, including EU-wide high quality comparative survey data where relevant. Access to and analysis of relevant microdata is expected.
