## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has completed a procurement process for the project titled "EHRC 1920 -31 Public Sector Equality Duties and Gender Pay Gaps". This initiative, classified under equal opportunities consultancy services and social research services, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of public sector gender pay gap duties in England, Scotland, and Wales. The contract period spanned from 27 January 2020 to 31 March 2020, following an open tender which closed on 14 January 2020. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the total value of the awarded contract amounted to £24,373, with delivery addresses across several regions in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in equality, social research, and related consultancy services. Firms that demonstrate expertise in gender pay gap analysis or inclusion policies would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Given the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the tender suitability, businesses of these types may find valuable avenues for growth by engaging with public sector contracts that focus on social impact and governance compliance.

## Notice

It will also inform our policy influencing with UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments to strengthen PSED.
