    Brief

    The Low Pay Commission is seeking research proposals to investigate the effects of the National Living Wage (NLW) and National Minimum Wage (NMW) in the UK. This open call invites larger-scale research projects that will provide substantial new insights into how minimum wage policies work and their real-world impacts, particularly following significant rate increases since 2019. Up to three projects will be commissioned, with results due in Autumn 2028. Researchers may propose studies from the LPC's suggested topic list or submit innovative proposals addressing gaps in current understanding. The research should ideally leverage new or linked data sources to overcome disruptions caused by the pandemic. Successful projects will directly inform government policy decisions affecting millions of workers and thousands of businesses, with potential influence on UK and international policymaking. Project budgets should range from £60,000 to £100,000 (excluding VAT), with bids evaluated on value for money and project quality. Applicants must submit complete tenders including written responses to quality criteria, detailed pricing, and required supporting documents. A separate call for smaller projects (LPC 2026/01) with results due September 2027 is also available.
