Local government entities are under serious financial pressure, and procurement is tasked with helping to reduce spend.
Government launches public sector pay award process
In writing to the independent Pay Award Bodies, the government has formally launched the 2025/26 pay process for the Armed Forces, NHS workers, teachers, police officers, prison service staff, the NCA and senior public sector staff.
These bodies, made up of experts from across these areas, will now go on to collect evidence to inform their independent pay award recommendations.
These will then be submitted for the government to formally respond to.
By bringing forward the pay round this year, the Government plans to fully reset the timeline by the 2026/27 round.
The government has now sent remit letters to a selection of independent Pay Review Bodies, which is the standard method for launching the 2025/26 pay award process.
These include the Armed Forces Pay Review Body, Police Remuneration Review Body, and Prison Service Pay Review Body.
The Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration, NHS Pay Review Body, and the Review Body on Senior Salaries are also included.
