The brief

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday, 2nd March 2020 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.

Brief Description of Requirement The research will investigate whether firms will modify their pay and organisational structures, including systems of incentives and rewards, in response to the National Living Wage (NLW) as it begins its journey towards a target of two-thirds of median hourly earnings by 2024 with the age entitlement being reduced from 25 to 21 in two stages - first to 23 in April 2021 and then to 21 by April 2024.

It will give initial insights of how firms are planning to adjust their pay structures and use of age-related pay in light of the new and more ambitious policy for the NLW.
