## Description

\*\*\*\*\* THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION \*\*\*\*\* This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS Brief Description of Requirement In Great Britain, whistleblowing refers to when a worker makes a disclosure of information which they reasonably believe shows wrongdoing or someone covering up wrongdoing\. Types of wrongdoing include criminal offences, the endangerment of health and safety, causing damage to the environment, a miscarriage of justice, or a breach of any legal obligation\. Workers who blow the whistle are entitled to protections, which were introduced through the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 \(PIDA\) \(amending the Employment Rights Act 1996\)\. These include protection from detriment or dismissal as a result of blowing the whistle, and a route of redress through the Employment Tribunals if these protections are infringed\.
