    Brief

    This opportunity seeks a research services provider to design and deliver two complementary surveys examining work security and dismissal practices in Great Britain. One survey will gather data from employers while the other collects information from workers. The surveys will support the monitoring and evaluation of the Employment Rights Act 2025 and contribute to the Make Work Pay programme. Deliverables include programme-level and policy-specific monitoring evidence, support for future evaluations (including Impact Assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and Post Implementation Reviews), and an established evidence base that can be commissioned repeatedly through Statements of Work in subsequent years. This is a call-off contract engagement requiring expertise in survey design, data collection, and employment policy research.
