## Summary

The procurement process titled "Incomes Data Research" is managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. This initiative falls under the research and development consultancy services category, aimed at informing the Low Pay Commission (LPC) concerning minimum wage policy implications. The open procedure tender has a contract value of £9,650 and originally concluded its submission period on 8th May 2018, with the contract period running from 25th May 2018 to 30th November 2018. This process is part of the tender stage, with the award being made on 24th May 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in economic research, polling, and statistics, particularly those capable of providing consultancy services to governmental organisations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those with expertise in labour market research and the implications of wage policies. As this contract emphasises the need for research to inform public policy, firms that can demonstrate experience and competence in engaging with such topics may find this a beneficial avenue for growth.

## Notice

The aim of this study is to help inform the Low Pay Commission (LPC) response to the Taylor Review recommendation that the 'LPC consider the impact of introducing a higher minimum wage rate for hours worked that are not guaranteed as part of the contract' and as part of this 'to consider any alternative policies that they [LPC] consider address the same issue of one-sided flexibility'.
