Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Connected Places Catapult procured a human resources information system (HRIS) as a software and information-systems service, including provision, implementation and ongoing support. The requirement is for a modern, secure and scalable HR platform to improve HR operations, strengthen data integrity and support strategic workforce planning. The service is for Connected Places Catapult, with delivery associated with its London base and intended to support operations across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is categorised as services and includes industry-specific software. Suppliers relevant to this requirement include HR technology providers, implementation partners and managed support firms.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at noon on 20 May 2026. The contract was awarded to HiBob UK Ltd on 30 July 2026. The award value is £0, as recorded in the procurement data. The awarded contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2028. The selected supplier is responsible for providing, implementing and supporting the HRIS. The evaluation requirement focused on securing a solution that is modern, secure and scalable, with the ability to enhance HR operations, improve data integrity and support strategic workforce planning. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Connected Places Catapult for an integrated HR technology service rather than software supply alone. A credible future competitor would need a proven HRIS platform, a structured implementation capability and the resources to provide reliable ongoing support. The solution would need to handle workforce data securely, maintain strong data quality and provide useful information for strategic workforce planning. Scalability is important because the system must support operations across a broad geographic footprint. Established suppliers with relevant HR technology experience, secure hosting and information governance controls, implementation specialists, user-support capacity and evidence of delivering comparable workforce systems would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
