Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council has completed the procurement process under the category of personnel and payroll services, awarding a contract titled "HR and Payroll Systems VEAT Notice" to MHR International. This contract, focusing on a crucial service for the council, will span five years and is valued at £646,609. The procurement process was conducted via a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication, due to the necessity of maintaining the existing HR and Payroll System to avoid substantial changeover costs. The contract, covering East Lothian (region UKM73), was signed on 27th March 2025, and is aligned with the 2015 Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations, ensuring compliance with regulation 33 requirements.

The award to MHR International presents business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in integrated HR and payroll solutions that can offer economically advantageous alternatives. However, due to the technical and proprietary nature of the iTrent products offered by MHR, competition may be limited in this instance. Nonetheless, businesses involved in the provision of similar systems or complementary software solutions should consider future market engagements, as East Lothian Council plans to continually assess the market for subsequent tendering opportunities beyond the current contract period. This proactive approach to market testing can open doors for innovative solutions that meet public sector needs in cost-effective ways.
