This initiative falls under the category of human resources management consultancy services, with a procurement method classified as an open procedure. The tender, which was awarded on 13th July 2021, has a contract period commencing from 19th July 2021 to 31st March 2022. The procurement process has a total value of £160,000, with the minimum contract value set at £100,000. Services are to be delivered at the CQC’s offices located in London, United Kingdom.

Notice Title

Reward Services

Notice Description

CQC is on an exciting transformation journey to update ways of working in line with changes in the health and social care landscape. We are using a phased approach in determining our future Organisation Design and require alignment to a robust capability-based pay framework with flexibility to incorporate possible changes through each phase. There are several drivers contributing to this Reward review: o Difficulties in recruiting or retaining some specialist roles (e.g. data scientists) given the sensitivity to external labour markets where the same skills are required by other government departments and / or the private sector; o Perception of pay disparities and a lack of clarity on how pay progresses; o A significant proportion of staff are paid above the maximum of their pay range, adding to the sense of limited progression opportunities in the organisation. We are looking to secure Professional Reward support to partner us in delivering a robust capability-based pay reform business case for the Care Quality Commission confident it will achieve approval from DHSC, Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. In terms of the employee capability implications, there are likely to be requirements for broader knowledge and capability for greater working flexibility across CQC's three main Inspection Directorates, this will need to be reflected in our Reward Strategy.
