EU Public Procurement Regulations

23 January 2019

The Council, on the advice of the Finance Committee, has declared that the University continues to remain outside the scope of the EU Public Procurement Regulations as it is less than 50% publicly funded. The calculation is carried out annually to ensure that it remains possible to make the declaration. It is the Council’s intention that the University’s procurement procedures should continue to follow good practice as may be set out in the regulations, as well as that in the University’s Financial Regulations (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 1035; see also http://www.finance.admin.cam.ac.uk/policy-and-procedures/financial-regulations).

Statistical information: Staff grades, additional payments, and market supplements

23 January 2019

Grace 9 associated with the Second Joint Report of the Council and the General Board on new pay and grading arrangements for non-clinical staff (Reporter, 6002, 2004–05, p. 745) provides for the Council to publish at least annually (i) anonymised statistical information about the number of non-clinical staff on each step of the single spine, for the institution as a whole and by School (or equivalent), according to staff category, grade and gender; and (ii) anonymised information by School (or equivalent), according to staff category, grade and gender, of additional payments made under the regulations for payments additional to stipend, but excluding payments for clinical responsibility.

Accordingly the Council now publishes information for 2017–18 showing in the tables below the payments that have been made. All data is as at 31 July 2018.

(i) Non-clinical staff on each step of the single spine

Tables 1–9 show the number of non-clinical staff on each step of the single spine by grade and gender for (a) academic including research staff and (b) academic-related and assistant staff. Table 1 shows the data for the institution as a whole; Tables 2–9 show the data by School (or equivalent). In each table contribution points on the single spine are shaded.

(ii) Payments additional to stipend

The data on which the tables in this section draw do not include clinical payments, and Investment Office staff, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, and Heads of School payments (as these are included in the basic pay for those roles).

Table 10(a) shows total staff in receipt of a pensionable or non-pensionable payment made under the regulations for payments additional to stipend for each School (or equivalent) including a gender breakdown.

Tables 10(b) and (c) show, respectively, the pensionable and non-pensionable payments made by payment type, under the regulations for payments additional to stipend, across the University as a whole including a gender breakdown.

Tables 10(d) and (e) show, respectively, the pensionable and non-pensionable payments grouped by payment type, under the regulations for payments additional to stipend, across each School (or equivalent) including gender breakdown.

It should be noted that the data published in Tables 10(a)–(e) has been anonymised to protect individuals from potential identification in accordance with data protection principles.

      Tables 12(a) and (b) show total staff in receipt of a bonus payment by (a) percentage of basic salary and (b) bonus range; the tables show grade and staff category across each School (or equivalent) including gender breakdown.

Market pay and advanced contribution supplements

Grace 7 associated with the Second Joint Report (Reporter, 6002, 2004–05, p. 745) provides for the Council to publish anonymised statistical information on all awards of market supplements (now market pay and advanced contribution supplements) at least annually by staff category, grade, gender, and School (or equivalent). Accordingly, the Council publishes below information for 2017–18 on market pay awards and advanced contribution supplements.

      Table 11(a) shows the total number of staff in receipt of market pay awards.

      Table 11(b) shows the total number of staff in receipt of advanced contribution supplements.

      Table 11(c) shows the number of staff newly awarded market pay in 2017–18.

      Table 11(d) shows the number of staff newly awarded advanced contribution supplements in 2017–18.
