Opportunity overview

The Low Pay Commission (LPC) sought tenders from researchers with ideas for new or innovative research in relation to the National Living Wage (NLW) and the National Minimum Wage (NMW). This research will fill gaps in our current understanding of the impacts of the minimum wage, particularly the increases in the minimum wage rates since 2020. It will complement the LPC's own analysis of pay, the labour market and the broader economy and sit alongside other pieces of commissioned research. The maximum estimated value of any single contract under this procurement was £45,000 (exclusive of VAT).
