Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for "Election Staff Payroll and Payment Services," with the award date on 14 May 2026. The procurement process, initiated under the UK Public Procurement Act 2023/54, was carried out using a limited method, aimed at sub-central government public authority procurement. The contract involves the provision of payroll services, including electronic payslips, across several key UK regions. This procurement exercise was in the award stage, with the contract formally signed on 30 April 2026, and will actively run from May 2026 until April 2028, with potential extensions to 2030. Hoople Limited, a supplier based in Hereford and classified as an SME, has been entrusted with the contract delivery, which is valued at £157,950 net.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in business services, including law, marketing, consulting, payroll, and related fields. Since the procurement targeted below-threshold limited competition, SMEs focusing on personalised business services like payroll solutions have a favourable chance to leverage their niche expertise, particularly in regions such as Birmingham, Hereford, and the broader UK coverage area specified. Organisations with a capacity for handling contract-based services in public sector procurement are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities.
