    Brief

    The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is seeking research services to evaluate the estimated impacts of upcoming Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) reforms scheduled for implementation in April 2026.

Successful suppliers will have expertise in social policy research, quantitative analysis, survey design and implementation, and report writing. The research will inform policy decisions and provide DWP with robust evidence on reform outcomes.
