Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lionheart Educational Trust is seeking one supplier to provide HR and payroll software together with managed payroll services. The requirement covers personnel and payroll administration, payroll management and a human resources or time-accounting software package. The supplier will be expected to provide both the technology and the associated managed service rather than separate suppliers for each element. The buying organisation is Lionheart Educational Trust, based in Leicester, England. Delivery is identified across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, so the requirement may suit providers able to support payroll and HR operations across multiple jurisdictions or locations. This is a services contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is for a single supplier, with bids due by 26 October 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2030. Its stated value is £600,000. The tender concerns the combined provision of HR and payroll software and managed payroll services, so suppliers are expected to bid for the overall requirement rather than an identified split between separate lots. The opportunity is classified as personnel and payroll services, with related classifications for payroll management and HR or time-accounting software. Access to the competition is through the MultiQuote supplier platform, using reference CA18471; unregistered suppliers must register before quoting that reference. The buyer has set an open-procedure route for submissions.

This opportunity suits an established HR technology and payroll services provider able to supply an integrated platform alongside an ongoing managed payroll operation. Strong candidates are likely to combine software implementation and support with dependable payroll processing, personnel administration and time-accounting or HR functionality. The single-supplier model favours businesses that can take end-to-end responsibility for the service, either through their own delivery capability or an established operating model. Because delivery spans the United Kingdom and a range of European, Crown dependency, overseas and wider locations, relevant experience supporting organisations across multiple locations would be commercially useful. The stated suitability for SMEs means smaller specialist providers may compete, particularly where they can demonstrate resilient service capacity, reliable systems and the ability to support the Trust throughout the full contract term.
