## Notice

The Department for Transport (Central) (DfT(C)) invites proposals for administering an Equal Pay Audit (EPA).

To undertake the 2018 EPA, the Department is looking for an external provider to aid with (and not limited to): 1. Project planning - particularly in relation to identifying the scope, agreeing timescales and content and identify qualitative and quantitative data applicable; 2. Take part in and record outcomes of discussions with internal stakeholders to help identify potential equal pay issues; 3. Gathering, analysing and interpretation of data to identify pay gaps; 4. Analysis of historical and current pay documentation and processes; 5. Provision of an initial report and to consider, with the DfT Reward Team, gaps and priority areas for further analyses; and 6. Provide a Final Report by the end of the first quarter of the 2019/20 Financial Year. The tender documents will be accessible through the Employer's AWARD e-Sourcing portal. DfT shall issue the AWARD e-Sourcing portal registration to Tenderers requested through Contracts Finder. To permit this, tenderers will be required to register onto the e-Sourcing portal.
