Description
The Met Office are seeking a fully managed payroll solution to ensure payments are made to
employees on-time and accurately on a monthly basis. The Met Office currently employs
2150 people: approximately 2126 based in the UK and 24 based overseas. All staff are
processed on UK payroll according to UK legislation (no ex-pat arrangements) and paid in
pounds sterling (£).
On average, throughout the financial period April 2020 - March 2021, the payroll solution
administered 2117 payslips each month. This fluctuated between a range of 2078 and 2169
throughout this period (please note, this data is being provided for indicative purposes only).
The payroll solution must operate on a 365-day processing schedule (rather than the
standard 260 or 261-day schedule).
The Met Office intends to award a Contract for Services to a single supplier for the provision
of a fully managed payroll solution with an initial contract term of 3 years, and the option to
extend for one further 12-month period.
