Lot Information

Lot 1

The V&A utilizes one of 2 employment terms: 1)75% of employees are subject to "current" or V&A terms 2)25% of employees are subject to "legacy" or Civil Service terms Legacy terms are now almost completely closed to new entrants and so are expected to decrease over the next few years, with the current or V&A terms, increasing to close to 100%. Legacy terms, are linked to the Civil Service Pension Scheme, which requires access and operation of the MyCSP pension interface. V&A terms require pension payments to Aviva, the current defined contribution pension scheme. Employees in "Front of House" roles, typically work over 7 days, therefore sickness payments and overtime need to be accommodated for all work patterns. Payments to employees, workers and HMRC will be made by the V&A by BACs. The current pay date is 25th of a month, the V&A would be open to discussion on pay date going forward. The current HR system at the V&A is Cascade (via IRIS Software Group Ltd). Any payroll supplier will be expected to work alongside the Cascade system and integrate when open API is available. Tenderers must have previous experience of administration of MyCSP / Civil Service Pension process / interface. Please note that all values stated in this notice are estimates only, and the contract term is the maximum term inclusive of all extension options.
