Summary of the contracting process

Connected Places Catapult procured a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) and associated software programming and consultancy services. The requirement covers supplying, implementing and providing ongoing support for a modern, secure and scalable HR platform. Its stated purposes are to improve HR operations, strengthen data integrity and support strategic workforce planning. This is a services procurement led by Connected Places Catapult, a public undertaking based in London. The work concerns an organisation-wide HR technology solution rather than standalone recruitment, payroll or general IT support. Suppliers would need to provide both the system and the consultancy, implementation and continuing service capability needed to make the platform operational and useful to the buyer.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. It used an above-threshold open procedure, with quality identified as an evaluation criterion and further weighting set out in the tender documents. One lot was awarded to Hi Bob(UK) Limited on 29 July 2026, following seven final-stage bids. The recorded awarded value is £0 gross. The award has a standstill period ending on 1 October 2026. The awarded contract period is stated as 30 October 2026 to 1 September 2027, with a maximum extent date of 1 September 2028 and provision for three 12-month extensions. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 and the award decision period ended 31 July 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Connected Places Catapult for an integrated HR technology platform supported through implementation and continuing service delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a secure, scalable HRIS with strong data controls, dependable software delivery and consultancy capability. Experience of configuring and implementing HR systems, migrating or improving workforce data, and supporting users after launch would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to show how their platform improves day-to-day HR operations and provides information that supports workforce planning. The competition attracted seven final-stage bids, so future competitors would need a well-developed product, an experienced delivery team and evidence that the service can operate reliably in a public-sector environment.
