Summary of the contracting process

The Cumbria County Council is procuring School Payroll and HR Administration Services through an open tender process. This initiative aims to establish a supplier framework for approximately 180 Non-Cheque Book Maintained Schools in Cumbria, predominantly primary schools. The tender was published on 9 April 2020, and interested suppliers were given until 11 May 2020 to submit their proposals. The total contract value is £1,230,000, covering a contract period from 1 November 2020 to 31 March 2024, with up to four suppliers expected to be awarded roles on the framework.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in payroll and HR administration services. Given the scale and specific requirements of the schools involved, companies that can demonstrate effective, timely, and cost-efficient service delivery will be well-positioned to compete. Enterprises across various sizes, particularly those with a strong track record and experience in educational settings, could find valuable opportunities for business growth through further competitions awarding contracts on a price-only basis.
