Description

framework agreement accessible to all GMCA authorities and associate partners, for the
procurement of a platform to enable our employees and customers to utilise a first-class HR
and Payroll solution that is at the forefront of our digital transformation that will be able to
offer both on premise and cloud based services. The value has increased following market
engagement and collaborative discussions with partner authorities to ensure it has sufficient
value to allow all authorities to call off from the framework should they wish to do so.
The framework will run for 4 years and services available will include;
• Software maintenance and support
• Reduce the need for manual transactions
• Provide a user-friendly experience to employees, managers and external customers
• Provide a fully digital approach that will quickly realise a return on investment
• Be flexible and responsive to be able to deal with multiple services conditions, multiple
posts and payrolls.
Following soft market testing under DN560075 and consultation the estimated value has
been reviewed and increased to £31,000,000 to allow access to all GMCA partners and
associate partners
As this is a Framework a call off process will be required but by direct award to the
successful single supplier appointed.
The estimated value over a 4 year term is be up to £31,000,000 allowing access by all GMCA
authorities, authorities and partners are listed below.
