## Summary

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is conducting a procurement process titled "Local Staff Salary Benchmarking," aimed at establishing a global, consistent overview of Local Staff pay across its network. The procurement is classified under payroll management services and is currently in the Tender stage, with an open procedure method. The deadline for submitting tenders is set for 12:00 GMT on 5th March 2018, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 9th April 2018 and run until 6th April 2020. The buying organisation is located in London, United Kingdom, with a postal code of SW1A 2AH.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in payroll management and HR consulting services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in data collection and benchmarking. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive salary analysis and market comparison would be well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can contribute to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's aim of maintaining strategic oversight of salaries across various regions.

## Notice

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office undertook a global data collection exercise in 2016 which, for the first time, gathered data from our Posts across the Network and used salary benchmarking suppliers to compare this data against the local market and generate reports. This is the first time that our Human Resources Directorate centrally managed Local Staff salary benchmarking. The reports provided an overview of Local Staff pay across the Network, which enabled us to compare salaries by region in order to understand where the pressure points/problem areas are. We want to maintain this strategic overview by moving to an annual data collection exercise. This will involve benchmarking local salaries in every Post, as far as possible, against comparator organisation in their local market each year. To facilitate this, we require a global benchmarking contract which will give us a consistent Network-wide overview of Local Staff pay. Additional information: Please note the deadline for receipt of tenders is 12:00hrs GMT Monday 5th March 2018.
