Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process undertaken by Hampshire County Council involves the procurement of HR and payroll software, titled "Published on behalf of Arun District Council - HR/Payroll Software", under the CPV classification for software package and information systems. The procurement was conducted through a direct award from the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 14 Framework, with a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £300,000, has been awarded to IRIS Software Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME). The procurement process is currently at the award stage, which was completed on 25 April 2025, and the contract runs from 30 April 2025 to 29 April 2029. The project's location is specified in postal code BN17 5LF, and the transition to the new software is necessitated by the end of support for the existing system by 31 December 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in delivering software solutions, particularly those focused on human resources and payroll management. SMEs are particularly suited to compete, as demonstrated by the awarded contract to IRIS Software Limited, an SME provider. The requirement for a comprehensive software solution to streamline Arun District Council's processes and enhance decision-making indicates a promising avenue for businesses capable of meeting digital transformation needs. Businesses with expertise in offering automated systems with advanced data-sharing capabilities stand to benefit substantially from similar government procurement opportunities.
