This procurement is targeted at improving the evidence base regarding the fiscal effects of migration on the UK economy, in light of the country’s exit from the European Union. The tender is in the planning stage and is open until 27 October 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 6 November 2017 and run until 18 May 2018. Researchers and consultancies interested in this opportunity should note that submissions are invited for innovative studies that address the net fiscal contributions of migrants with specific characteristics. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in migration economics, fiscal analysis, and data modelling. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may particularly benefit from this contract if they can demonstrate a capability to conduct detailed analyses and deliver comprehensive models that assess the individual fiscal impacts of migrants. Companies should have experience in handling government projects, as well as the ability to work within the specified frameworks and timelines to ensure bids are competitive and successful. ## Notice The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is an independent, non-statutory, non-time limited, non-departmental public body that advises the government on migration issues. In July 2017, the Government commissioned the MAC to advise on the economic and social impacts of the UK's exit from the European Union and also on how the UK's immigration system should be aligned with a modern industrial strategy. We are commissioning research to improve the existing evidence base on the fiscal impact of migration on the UK economy. We are keen to encourage researchers to explore new and innovative areas of research; as well as extensions of the existing literature. Information on the Government commission and other MAC work are available on our website: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/migration-advisory-committee Aim and Objectives The aim of this research is to gain a better understanding of the fiscal impact of migration on the UK. The research should consider the impact of migration from inside and outside the EEA with a comparison made to UK nationals. We welcome research which fills gaps in the evidence and knowledge that exists; to address and examine areas that have not been considered in great depth in the literature; or to enable an extension of previous work. Much of the existing literature on the net fiscal contribution of migrants focuses on migrants as a whole or as relatively large groups (e.g. EEA, non-EEA). While we are interested in that, we are more interested in having estimates of the net fiscal contribution of individual migrants with specific characteristics e.g. for a specific level of earnings, of a certain age and household structure. The MAC is seeking to commission research to provide the following: * An analysis of the most important characteristics of a migrant that influence their net fiscal contribution. * An analysis of whether there any reasons why the net fiscal contribution of a migrant and identical native would be different and to quantify, as far as possible, these differences. * The successful contractor is expected to deliver an excel model that clearly shows the net fiscal contribution split by individual characteristics (EU/Non-EU, skills, earnings, household size, age, migration route etc) to be agreed with the MAC and the Secretariat at the inception meeting. * The model should be clear about the assumptions made in providing a complete analysis of all the types of tax revenues and public expenditures that might accrue because of the presence of a migrant. * The model outputs should be compared to published statistics and comparators and the overall fiscal impact of UK nationals. Any significant differences or divergences should be explained. Sensitivity analysis with varying assumptions should be included. The model should be capable of being used to do the types of analysis as shown in the attached document.
