## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is undergoing a procurement process titled "SDA HR Job Evaluation RFI," focusing on human resources management consultancy services. This process is currently in the planning stage, with early engagement ending on 25 April 2025. The initiative involves evaluating job roles across various grades within the MoD, specifically targeting new job evaluations following an internal restructure. The procurement process is relevant to multiple regions, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other global locations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in human resources management consultancy services. The MoD is seeking innovative solutions to integrate with their existing grading structure, making use of factor comparison methodologies for evaluating roles. Companies with expertise in job evaluation and methodological implementations are well-suited to compete in this tender, offering potential growth in a vital sector while supporting the MoD’s evolving HR framework.

## Notice

Until now the SDA has utilised a job evaluation methodology shared with DE&S, however as the organisation has undergone an internal restructure we are now considering alternative options. This will target the quantity of job evaluations we will be completing across all relevant grades. All SDA roles have been evaluated and placed into a grading structure using the factor comparison methodology provided by the previous supplier, and it is not our intention to re-evaluate all roles but to utilise the existing infrastructure and incorporate a methodology that will allow us to evaluate new roles and place them into the existing grading structure.
