Conceptual Development

Strategic Simulation

This work package requires strategic simulation(s) to be developed, which will bring together all the evidence and data to determine the impact policy options could have in different scenarios at strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Suppliers should have experience of syncretising all parts of an employment offer in a large organisation to establish a coherent reward and incentivisation strategy such that the impact of potential policy options can be understood. Suppliers should also have relevant analytical skills, including drawing together quantitative and qualitative research together to evaluate the impact of options.

Implementation Management

This work package will conduct assessments of policy options to understand, in outline terms, how these could be delivered, particularly with respect to an underlying IT solution. This work will help develop the Review's recommendations by identifying solutions that are deliverable and minimise implementation costs. Suppliers should have experience in designing top-level R&I systems in complex organisations, which anticipate implementation challenges and enable a reward offer to be delivered efficiently and effectively. Suppliers should also have experience of IT implementation challenges and identifying back-office efficiencies.

Cost Modelling

This work package requires a cost model to be developed to enable high-level cost-modelling, which will support decisions on individual policy options/design and underpin overall assurance that the holistic reward model is affordable within reasonable parameters of uncertainty. Suppliers should have a proven track-record of cost-modelling, with a particular focus on high-level modelling of future holistic reward options, and on explaining the impact of cost assumptions on the overall assurance of high-level affordability. Suppliers should also have experience of working with in-house data owners to understand detailed modelling requirements, and of providing technical assurance for cost models which have been developed.
