Summary of the contracting process

The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) has completed a procurement process for their "iTrent HR & Payroll" project. This involves software and outsourcing services for Human Capital Management, Payroll, Talent, Learning, and Analytics, classified under the software package and information systems industry category. The procurement adopted a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender award having been confirmed on 31st March 2025. The contract, valued at £526,108, covers services to be delivered across England, Scotland, and Wales from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028. The process reached the award stage, highlighting opportunities for suppliers in software services specifically tailored for HCM and payroll systems.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in HCM and payroll software, with potential for growth by delivering comprehensive services to a public sector entity like ACAS. The contract period allows for a stable business relationship, beneficial for companies capable of meeting the demands of a large-scale governmental contract. Smaller enterprises focusing on specific software solutions may also find this type of tender advantageous, provided they can navigate the selective procurement processes such as call-offs from framework agreements. This tender suits companies that are not only proficient in software solutions but also those willing to engage in long-term partnerships within the public sector.
