FWK4004 - Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) Independent Investigators

Corporate Officer of the House of Commons · Central government

In brief

Corporate Officer of the House of Commons has cancelled this procurement.

It is a framework worth up to £2,584,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 October 2026.

It is split into 3 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

What the notice says

The Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) assesses cases of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct across the Houses of Parliament. The ICGS are seeking Independent Investigators to join a framework of suppliers who will be assigned to assess cases of misconduct. The investigators will be tasked with assessing a complaint and coming to a recommendation as to whether, on the balance of probabilities, the alleged behaviour occurred and if this constitutes a breach of either the Bullying and Harassment policy or the Sexual Misconduct policy.
