Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought payroll services for the judiciary and associated groups. This is a service requirement, with payroll management identified as the relevant work (CPV 79211110); the tender also classifies the requirement under software and information systems. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The procurement title and description identify the customer groups and the payroll purpose, but do not set out operational tasks such as payroll volumes, systems to be supported or specific service levels. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, based in London. The requirement concerns delivery of payroll services across a broad international footprint for the judiciary and associated groups.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Liberata UK Ltd. The award was made on 25 November 2022. The awarded value is £12.2 million, and the contract runs from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2026. The tender’s stated total value is £9.8 million, while the award records £12.2 million; these are separate published figures. The procurement used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The response deadline was 20 October 2022 at 16:00. The contract period in the tender data ends on the same date as the awarded period. No lots are listed. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to take part. No award evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers considering comparable Ministry of Justice payroll work, this award demonstrates demand for payroll services supporting the judiciary and associated groups across the UK and a wide international footprint. The selected supplier was Liberata UK Ltd, recorded as a large business, and the route was a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective process. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate the capacity to manage payroll delivery across varied locations and the ability to support the relevant customer groups. The procurement records suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that these organisation types were considered capable of participating; scale alone was not presented as a bar. The data does not describe technical specifications, service volumes, required accreditations or the evaluation criteria, so these should not be inferred as established conditions.
