Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (Dounreay) procured a bureau payroll service and associated support, covering personnel and payroll services (CPV 79631000). The requirement supports the buyer’s payroll administration rather than the supply of payroll software alone. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s operation in Thurso, and the procurement records delivery across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (Dounreay), based in Thurso. This is a specialist outsourced payroll bureau requirement for an organisation operating in the nuclear restoration sector, with the supplier providing the service and support needed to administer payroll across the relevant workforce and locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CGI IT UK Limited following a mini-competition under the G-Cloud 14 framework. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 August 2029. Its awarded value is £140,000, while the estimated value range was £100,000 to £140,000. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was evaluated through the framework mini-competition process; the published procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award signals demand from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited for an outsourced payroll bureau capable of delivering reliable personnel and payroll administration over a multi-year contract. A credible future competitor would need established bureau payroll operations, robust payroll processing controls and the capacity to support a workforce connected with a nuclear restoration organisation. Experience of handling payroll accurately across UK and international locations would be relevant, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other overseas jurisdictions. Suppliers should also be able to provide ongoing operational support, manage service continuity and meet the governance expectations of a safety-critical public-sector environment. The buyer used a framework call-off and a mini-competition, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be important.
