Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Housing Solutions procured a payroll software solution for its operations in the South East of England. The requirement covers the supply and licensing of the software, together with implementation, configuration, maintenance and ongoing support. It is classified as a time-accounting and human-resources software package and falls within the goods category. The procurement is intended for a supplier able to provide an integrated payroll platform rather than a standalone consultancy or manual payroll service. The scope therefore combines software delivery with the technical work needed to configure and implement the system, maintain it during use and provide user or operational support. Housing Solutions is the buying organisation for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 1 January 2026. Housing Solutions awarded the contract to MHR International UK Ltd on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £136,428.11. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2031. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the full payroll software solution, including licensing, implementation, configuration, maintenance and support. The selected supplier is MHR International UK Ltd. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure used by Housing Solutions, with the award covering the complete requirement rather than separately identified lots.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Housing Solutions’ demand for an end-to-end payroll technology service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature payroll and human-resources software platform, with the capability to handle implementation, system configuration, software licensing, maintenance and ongoing support as one service. It would need to demonstrate that it can move an organisation onto the platform and keep the system reliable throughout a multi-year operating period. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist software provider with sufficient delivery, support and maintenance capacity could be well placed to compete, either independently or with delivery partners.
