Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tyne Coast College is seeking one supplier for an integrated HR and payroll software system together with managed payroll services. The requirement covers human resources software, time accounting functionality and the operation or support of payroll and personnel administration. The service is for the college and is associated with its site at South Shields, England, with delivery arrangements also covering the United Kingdom and potentially wider locations. This is a services contract rather than a purchase of standalone software or equipment: suppliers would be expected to provide the software solution and the managed payroll service as a combined offering. The opportunity is relevant to HR technology providers, payroll bureaux, managed service providers and partnerships able to deliver both elements through a single commercial arrangement.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: Tyne Coast College invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 1 September 2026 at 10:00 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 March 2032, giving a term of more than five years. Its stated value is £571,666. The buyer intends to appoint a single supplier, so bidders must address the complete requirement rather than compete for separate lots. The published procurement category is services. The tender information does not set out a separate award weighting or detailed evaluation formula in the available process data, so suppliers will need to refer to the tender documentation for the basis on which offers are assessed.

This opportunity suits an SME supplier with a combined HR and payroll technology and service capability. Strong candidates are likely to be able to supply, configure and support HR and time-accounting software while also running accurate managed payroll services for the college. The single-supplier model favours providers that can take end-to-end responsibility rather than firms offering only software licences or only outsourced payroll. Relevant operational capability includes handling personnel and payroll administration through a reliable service model, supporting users and maintaining the software throughout the contract. The requirement may also suit a specialist payroll bureau partnered with an HR software provider, provided the arrangement can present one accountable supplier and deliver both service components together.
