In plain English
The Food Standards Agency, a government department covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland, wants a specialist consultant to write a Pay and Reward Strategy for its staff of about 1,600. The strategy should line up with the Agency's recent workforce planning and support staff retention, engagement and performance within the Civil Service pay framework. The estimated value is £45,000.
What the buyer wants
• Develop a comprehensive Pay and Reward Strategy that aligns with the Agency's Strategic Workforce Planning outcomes • Design the strategy to support workforce sustainability, organisational performance and employee engagement, within the constraints of the Civil Service pay framework • Provide a clear, proportionate cost breakdown showing value for money and how the costs support delivery of the specification
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list any specific certifications, experience thresholds or mandatory criteria, but a small firm without working knowledge of the Civil Service pay framework or without a clear, justified costing for value for money would likely struggle at evaluation.
Always check the tender documents.
