    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. This research will gather evidence on how these reforms affect employers, employees, and the broader social security system. The project includes conducting a comprehensive employer survey to understand workplace practices, compliance challenges, and business implications. 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.
