## Summary

The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) is seeking to procure Job Grading and Job Evaluation Services. The procurement opportunity, titled "Job Grading and Job Evaluation Services," falls under the human resources management consultancy and business management consultancy services categories. It is geographically centred in the regions of UKI and UKN within the United Kingdom. Currently, in the tender stage, the process follows an open procurement method with the tender period concluding on 30th January 2026. The enquiry period ends on 23rd January 2026, providing interested parties adequate time to prepare and submit proposals. The contract period is set from 10th February 2025 to 9th February 2028, with a maximum contract value of £60,000 under a concession special regime. The specified procurement process is detailed as "Below threshold - open competition."

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in human resources and management consultancy, particularly those with expertise in job evaluation and grading systems. Organisations capable of delivering bespoke job evaluation tools aimed at ensuring fair and defensible grading and pay decisions are well-suited for this opportunity. The procurement favours small and medium enterprises (SMEs), encouraging their participation and providing a chance for business growth in a dynamic and expanding organisation like ICRIR. Businesses adept in providing transparent and non-discriminatory job sizing solutions will find this contract particularly aligned with their capabilities. The competitive open competition nature of the tender allows all eligible businesses to leverage this opportunity to expand their public sector engagement and client portfolio.

## Notice

ICRIR are currently operating a bespoke approach to grading roles around 5 levels. Whilst there are no obvious immediate grading or equal pay issues, the organisation is growing quickly and substantially, and we want to review our current approaches and consider whether it remains fit for purpose in the me-dium term. Regardless of the future approach, we wish to ensure that the ICRIR has a defensible and non-discriminatory basis for grading and pay deci-sions and clarity and transparency around job sizes with staff and stakehold-ers. Against this background and context, we are now considering whether now might be an opportune time to introduce a more appropriate job evaluation tool to measure the job demands of ICRIR roles.
