## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is seeking services for the "EHRC 1819-66 Equal Pay Investigation," which aims to evaluate equal pay concerns raised by women within an organisation. This procurement is classified under "Investigation services" and falls within the services category. The tender process is currently complete, with a total contract value of £90,000, of which the minimum value required is £20,000. The contract period is set to run from 8 April 2019 to 1 July 2019, following the tender period that ended on 26 March 2019. Notably, the investigation will cover various regions across the United Kingdom, including London, Scotland, and Wales, among others. The procurement method used is an open procedure, ensuring broad participation in the contracting process.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in equal opportunities consultancy services and investigation services to grow by engaging in compliance-related and evaluative work. Companies with expertise in handling pay grievances and experience in human resource consultancy would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The engagement is particularly favourable for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), given the suitability criteria set forth by the purchasing authority.

## Notice

Evaluation of whether individuals employed by an organisation under investigation by the EHRC are carrying out work of equal value to comparators. This investigation is a response to concerns raised by women employed by the organisation concerned, that they have not received equal pay for work that is equal to that of their male comparators and/or that they have been paid less than they would have been paid had they been a man. The EHRC's intention, subject to finalisation of the terms of reference, is to select a representative sample of pay grievances that have been considered by the organisation. The sample will include pay grievances that have been dealt with informally, at the organisation's first formal grievance stage or on appeal and will include women from a variety of roles attracting different levels of pay. The EHRC will analyse each case within the sample to determine whether an unlawful act has been committed.
