Summary of the contracting process

Bradford College procured payroll and personnel software, specifically Access UK Ltd’s PeopleXD product. This is business software for managing payroll and personnel processes, classified as software packages and information systems. The purchase was made by Bradford College, based in Bradford. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom and a range of international locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The requirement was a software supply rather than works or a broad consultancy service, and was placed through the cloud software lot of the G-Cloud framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Access UK Ltd. The award date was 25 March 2026. The contract value is £364,416, stated as the four-year total plus VAT; the description identifies 2029–2030 as the extension period. The recorded contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2029. Bradford College used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, under its cloud software lot. The procurement period ended on 11 August 2026. The award record identifies the selected supplier and contract value; no evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria are stated.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future payroll and personnel software requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a cloud-based PeopleXD-type system procured through the G-Cloud framework’s cloud software route. A credible competitor would need to provide software capable of supporting both payroll and personnel management, with a product and service offer suitable for a college operating across the stated UK and international delivery coverage. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so this type of requirement is not inherently limited to large providers. The successful supplier is a large business, showing that an established software provider can satisfy the requirement; the award does not disclose specific technical standards, accreditations, implementation capacity or experience thresholds, so competitors should focus on demonstrating a robust fit for the stated software need and framework route.
