Notice Title

PS23127 - Low Pay Commission Call for Research on the Impacts of the National Minimum Wage, including the National Living Wage, on Businesses - ITQ

Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Tuesday 2nd May 2023 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The Low Pay Commission (LPC) has an ongoing remit to monitor the operation of the National Minimum Wage (NMW), including the National Living Wage (NLW) and to assess the impact of increases in the level of the minimum wage. With the National Living Wage moving towards its target of two-thirds of median hourly earnings for those aged 21 and over by 2024, it is important that the Commission has evidence on how businesses have been affected and how they are responding. This project will also provide evidence for deliberations on the future of the NLW beyond 2024. Since 2020, the UK economy has been subject to the unprecedented upheaval in the economy and the labour market caused by measures to control the global pandemic. This has affected some sectors, in particular many low-paying sectors, more than others. It has also disrupted many of the usual data sources upon which much of our standard analysis depends. The pandemic has, however, also led to the development of new data sources, such as the Business Insights and Conditions Survey (BICS). We are therefore keen to consider tenders that can take advantage of these. In addition to the impacts from the pandemic, the UK began a new trading relationship with the EU on 1 January 2021 that has seen significant changes in the way the UK trades and how its labour market operates. This may have different implications for firms in low-paying sectors. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.
