In plain English
Aspire Academy Trust, a group of schools run under one organisation, wants to buy a single software system that handles staff records (HR) and wages (payroll) for all its academies. It also wants a managed payroll service, where the supplier runs the monthly pay process on the Trust's behalf, with an estimated value of £450,000.
What the buyer wants
• Supply an integrated HR and payroll software platform that keeps all Trust-wide staff data in one central record • Run a fully managed payroll service that pays staff correctly and meets HMRC reporting rules, Teachers' Pension Scheme and Local Government Pension Scheme requirements • Provide reporting, audit trails and internal controls so the Trust can oversee workforce data and compliance across all academies
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A supplier without a proven, live HR and payroll platform that already handles both Teachers' Pension Scheme and Local Government Pension Scheme payroll across multiple organisations, or one that cannot show the security certifications and support capacity needed for a managed payroll service, would most likely be ruled out.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
