UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council has completed a direct award contract for the provision, support, and maintenance of its integrated Payroll and Human Resources System. The procurement process was executed under the legal basis of UK legislation 2023/54, involving a direct award due to technical reasons that impacted critical council processes. This contract falls within the software package and information systems industry category and is located in the region of UKE12 in the United Kingdom. The award notice for this contract was published on 4th July 2025, with a significant contract period starting from 1st October 2025 and concluding on 30th December 2032. The pending award is valued at £2,644,000 with a gross amount of £3,172,800, and notable milestones include a future signature date scheduled for 13th August 2025.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for software and IT businesses specialising in robust payroll and human resources solutions. The direct award to MHR International UK Ltd, a large-scale supplier, suggests a preference for providers with substantial technical capabilities and experience in managing complex software systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate specialised knowledge in integrated HR solutions, along with the potential for long-term support and maintenance, would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities, potentially enhancing their service portfolios and reaching governmental clientele. The strategic nature of this procurement highlights the demand for tailored IT solutions within the public sector, presenting a clear path for niche firms to expand and innovate.
