Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield College procured an HR, payroll and workforce development system, covering human resources management consultancy and payroll management services. The requirement is for a service supporting the college’s people-management and payroll operations, with workforce development included in the scope. Chesterfield College is the buying organisation, based on Infirmary Road in Chesterfield, England. Delivery is associated with the college’s Chesterfield location and the wider United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services. The requirement may suit suppliers providing integrated HR and payroll technology, implementation and consultancy, together with services that support workforce development. It is relevant to organisations able to support a further-education college’s internal workforce and related administrative processes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The award was made to MHR International UK Limited on 6 August 2026. The awarded value is £306,933. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. The tender was published on 9 February 2026, with submissions due by 9 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Chesterfield College identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement used one requirement rather than separate lots. The award is active, and the selected supplier is the sole named award recipient. The published scope covered HR management consultancy and payroll management services within the broader workforce development system requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Chesterfield College for an established HR and payroll system supported by specialist consultancy and workforce development capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine reliable payroll management with broader human resources functionality, implementation and ongoing operational support. The supplier would also need to understand workforce development requirements and integrate services into a college environment without disrupting core people and pay processes. Evidence of delivering comparable HR and payroll systems, maintaining accurate and secure employee data, managing implementation, and providing responsive support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist with sufficient delivery capacity may be well placed to compete alongside larger providers.
