PS23126 - Low Pay Commission Open Call for Research on the Impacts of the National Minimum Wage, including the National Living Wage - 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) invites tenders from researchers with ideas for new or other research in relation to the National Living Wage (NLW) (and the National Minimum Wage (NMW)). We are also keen to understand the impact of the recent 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. 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. This may have different implications for low-paying sectors and minimum wage workers. We are looking to commission up to three research projects that will complement each other. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria as set out in the ITQ document.
