Summary of the contracting process

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority has successfully concluded the procurement process for a commercial off-the-shelf HRMIS Software, Core HR, Managed Payroll, and Recruitment System, aimed at enhancing their operational efficiency. Classified under the industry category of "Time accounting or human resources software package" (CPV 48450000), this contract falls under the goods procurement category. The contract has been awarded to MHR International UK Limited and was signed on 30th April 2025, for an initial term starting on 1st November 2024 and ending on 30th September 2028, with a potential extension of up to six years. Located in the United Kingdom, the procurement process was conducted using an open procedure method, covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), emphasising the importance of quality as a selection criterion, with a 70% focus on quality and 30% on price.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies that specialise in delivering comprehensive HR software solutions. While the award has been made, similar future tenders from the Authority could be well-suited to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given that the recent award was won by a SME. Businesses with a strong track record in software package delivery and capability to offer cost-efficient solutions focusing on high-quality outcomes are likely to find opportunities in such procurement processes. This project within the public order and safety sector offers a significant contractual value, and preparedness for open bidding and understanding government procurement protocols are advantageous for potential bidders.
