Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by TEC Partnership pertains to a direct award for the renewal of the iTrent HR & Payroll System, serving the organisation located in Grimsby, United Kingdom. As a public authority operating under sub-central government classification, TEC Partnership engaged in this process to ensure continuity and integration with their existing systems. The procurement falls within the services category, particularly personnel and payroll services, with the contract period commencing on 27th July 2025 and concluding on 27th July 2030. The award phase is pending signature, scheduled by 30th June 2025. This procurement method was selected to prevent disruption and keep costs manageable, aligning with their strategic objectives for future financial system tenders planned for 2026.

This tender for the iTrent HR & Payroll System creates opportunities for businesses specialising in HR and payroll services to gain exposure in multiple regions of the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Although the procurement method chosen was direct, suitability was assessed to favour SMEs, indicating potential growth prospects for smaller enterprises capable of integrating seamlessly with TEC Partnership’s existing infrastructure. Large businesses like MHR International UK Limited, already involved as the supplier, demonstrate that companies with robust solutions can benefit from repeat contracts, leveraging their existing partnerships and technological compatibility. This contract is above threshold, implicating larger financial involvement and a significant opportunity for recognised industry stakeholders.
