## Summary

The recently completed procurement process titled "Senior Civil Servant Pay Benchmarking 2018" was initiated by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), based in London, England. This procurement falls under the category of research consultancy services and was carried out through a direct procurement method with a single tender action below the threshold. The tender period ended on 22nd August 2018, while the contract itself commenced on 3rd September 2018 and will conclude on 30th November 2018. The total contract value is £24,600.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in salary benchmarking and public sector remuneration. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, leveraging their agility and specialised knowledge in this area to meet the specific needs of the CMA as they seek to attract and retain talent in the competitive landscape following the UK's exit from the EU.

## Notice

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) needs to ensure the salaries of its Senior Civil Servants (SCS) are commensurate, as far as possible within public sector pay restraints, with other regulators and agencies (both in the UK and overseas) and with private sector comparators. The CMA was established on 1 April 2014. SCS salaries have not been benchmarked since before the creation of the organisation. This financial year, in light of the growth of the CMA as a result of EU exit, the CMA Remuneration Committee will formally review SCS salaries to ensure they are both competitive to attract and retain colleagues. The CMA wishes to engage a specialist reward consultancy to conduct salary benchmarking for a range of SCS roles across a range of comparable employers.
