This tender falls within the research and development consultancy services sector and is located in England. The current stage of the procurement is tendering, with a bid submission deadline set for 13th March 2017 at 14:00. The value of the contract is estimated at £60,000 and will be awarded through an open procurement method. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 20th March 2017 and conclude on 31st December 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research, economics, or consultancy services, particularly those specialising in labour market analysis. Given the focus on evaluating the effects of minimum wage policies, firms that have expertise in econometric studies or are familiar with the demographics of young workers (aged 16-24) would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this procurement particularly relevant, as the requirements suggest inclusivity for smaller bidders within the public procurement space. ## Notice *** This tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision. *** The final date and time for the submission of bids is 13/03/2017 at 14:00hrs DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. The Low Pay Commission (LPC) invites tenders for an econometric study of the impact of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) on employment and hours of young workers aged 16-24, including differential effects by sector, firm size, geography and age. The study has two aims: (1) to re-examine the impact of minimum wage increases on young people's employment and hours, distinguishing, if possible, between the effect of increases to the applicable age rates and the effect of increases to other rates (including the adult rate); (2) to assess the impact of the NLW on young people's employment and hours, covering the period from the announcement of the NLW in July 2015. Sample sizes permitting, we are interested in understanding how employment and hours effects vary by age, sector, firm size and geography. There is additional interest in understanding how the effects vary by level of educational qualification if possible Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document.
