## Summary

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority bought a licence for job evaluation software and related information systems, classified under CPV 48000000. The software supports the Authority’s human resources function in evaluating job roles where there is no existing precedent for the grade. It applies the Job Evaluation for Government Service (JEGS) framework to establish the appropriate common Civil Service grade, helping ensure that roles are graded consistently. The buying organisation is a UK central government authority based at Benton Park View in Newcastle upon Tyne. The awarded requirement covers delivery for use in the United Kingdom. This is a software and information-systems opportunity for suppliers providing job evaluation, workforce management or related HR technology.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Towers Watson Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £15,510 excluding VAT and £18,612 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the Authority’s procurement process for a JEGS software licence, with the published outcome identifying Towers Watson Limited as the selected supplier. The arrangement is for a single supplier and covers software classified as goods rather than a wider HR consultancy or implementation service.

This award demonstrates demand from the Infected Blood Compensation Authority for specialist software that supports Civil Service job evaluation and consistent grading of roles. A credible future competitor would need a working product based on, or capable of applying, the JEGS framework, with functionality that helps HR teams assess roles where no direct grading precedent exists. Suppliers should be able to provide a reliable software licence for organisational use across the United Kingdom, explain how their system supports consistent and auditable grading decisions, and meet the requirements of a central government customer. Relevant experience in public-sector HR technology, job evaluation, Civil Service grading or workforce information systems would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next considered.

## Notice

To ensure IBCA are grading job roles correctly in line with Civil Service, HR have agreed that any roles where there is not a precedent on grade will be evaluated using the JEGS framework to establish the common Civil Service grade.
