The full specification is provided with in the tender documents, but it is expected to incorporate a pay comparability exercise, comparing pay for public sector prison staff with that for jobs deemed to be comparable in the wider labour market, in England and Wales. The Review Body shall also take account of the competitiveness of the Prison Service in England and Wales with the private sector, and any differences in terms and conditions of employment between the public and private sectors taking account of the broad employment package including relative job security. The review body principally meets the above aim by regularly commissioning pay comparability research. The review body's last commissioned pay comparability research was published in November 2019 and the review body is seeking an updated piece of research to inform their recommendations on pay. We are seeking a more thorough review for robustness and to see if it can be improved upon or confirm that this is the best approach. Suppliers are expected to have expertise in pay benchmarking, job evaluation and data analysis. Bidders must be able to deliver the methodologies and deliverables outlined in the specification within the required timeframe and must be available for all meetings. It is anticipated the contract shall be for a period of 12 months. The maximum contract value for the requirement, is £100,000 excluding VAT. The Authority is using e-Tendering for this Procurement.
