The remainder of the work package will use the view of the System that has been created as a tool to support decision making. Key areas of support are to firstly interrogate the model created to identify potential policy options and then testing these, across a range of situations, to understand the likely impacts on, for instance, recruitment and retention or operational capability. It is important that the work considers the unique aspects of Defence in terms of the nature of its work and what AF Personnel are likely to value in 2035. It is anticipated that this work will flow into the strategic cost modelling with iterations between the two – simulating different options to arrive at evidence-based recommendations. This package will require strong analytical skills coupled with Reward & Incentivisation experience and, ideally, experience of creating strategic views of Reward & Incentivisation systems across a range of different contexts;\nc)\tStrategic cost modelling.  This package of work will deliver high-level modelling of costs, both to underpin overall assurance that the holistic reward model is affordable within reasonable parameters of uncertainty and to enable decisions on potential individual policy options/design. This will require close work with data owners across Defence.  As the Review will focus on the strategic framework for reward, rather than defining detailed solutions, this cost modelling must deal with significant uncertainty and move beyond existing data sets; it will be important that underlying assumptions and their impact on assurance can be thoroughly understood;\nd)\tImplementation management.  This package is focused on ensuring Review recommendations are framed in a way that will minimise implementation and ongoing back-office costs. The Review itself will not be responsible for implementation, but must design a top-level system that should anticipate implementation challenges and enable us to exploit opportunities to deliver the reward offer more effectively.  The work to be undertaken will involve conducting assessments of policy options to understand, in outline terms, how those could be delivered, particularly with respect to any underlying IT solution. This should Identify potential through-life deliverability issues, drawing from broad experience of the reward area, to help frame a flexible, responsive and future-proof system. It should also identify opportunities, particularly anticipating future IT, data and analytical technologies, and advise how to shape policy to anticipate these. Finally, support in this package will help develop dedicated implementation recommendations to be included in the Review report where that is strategically important (e.g. where future analytical capability would be key to effective management of the system)."

    "description": "As set out in the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy (16 March 2021), the security threats and challenges facing the UK are increasingly complex and uncertain.  If the Armed Forces are to defend the nation from these in future, Defence must manage its service personnel more effectively.  Furthermore, the world and workplace are changing rapidly, with the pace of change accelerated by technology.  Because of this, society’s expectations and the labour market are also changing and becoming less aligned to how Defence has worked in the past.  What Defence offers to service personnel must therefore be adjusted by adopting more sophisticated and differentiated approaches to managing and rewarding their skills and talents.  However, the unique opportunities military service provides should be preserved to prevent the creation of a transactional relationship with our people.\nThe Defence Command Paper (22 March 2021) commits Defence to establishing an independent review to examine these issues.  This review, known as the Armed Forces Reward and Incentivisation Review (AFRIR), will consider all aspects of the Offer to our people: financial reward in the form of pay and pensions; and benefits such as housing, healthcare, childcare, family support and career flexibility, and many others.  Further details of the Offer can be found in Our Finest Asset: what it means to serve in the 21 Century (22 March 2021).  \nThe Review is expected to publish a report by Spring 2023, which will set out recommendations to make military terms and conditions of service fit for the future.  These will look out to the 2030s and beyond to ensure that Defence can recruit and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce with the right skills to meet its requirements - mindful of prevailing and expected labour market conditions and assuming the Department overall will have an operating budget that remains the same in real terms. \nThe AFRIR has been designed to take a wide perspective: it will be led by an independently appointed Chair and apply the tools and lessons of global best practice.  The Review, in conjunction with DSTL and the MOD’s Analysis Directorate, will draw on Defence-specific and multi-disciplinary research and benchmarking, and apply existing and new analytical frameworks to model or simulate scenarios.  External Assistance (EA) is required to complement and build upon the skills and capacity available in Defence to deliver Review.  There are four areas of work where EA is required:\na)\tConceptual Development. This package of work will provide support to the creation of a Reward & Incentivisation Strategy for Defence, focussed at Armed Forces Personnel, set in a 2035 context. This will draw heavily on knowledge and experience of global best-practice benchmarks on reward approach, philosophy and strategy.  We are looking for fresh thinking to challenge the status quo.  But it must also support us to successfully translate this into the future Defence context. This will require expert input into the shaping and development of a conceptual model that can define and connect Defence’s future operational vision with its people needs, helping to ensure it is framed in effective structures and terms for the Review. This requires the expert knowledge to be coupled with comfort in broader conceptual thinking and in dealing with the uncertainty that comes with formulating a long-term vision;\nb)\tStrategic simulation. This package of work aims to enable Defence to gain an understanding of its total Reward & Incentivisation system, including the relationships between different financial and non-financial elements. The work to be undertaken will involve creating a strategic view of the System today and how it may evolve in 2035, pulling in appropriate external best practice. It is anticipated that this work will involve integrating a considerable amount of multi-disciplinary knowledge; it will draw on current Defence data, b",
