Summary of the contracting process

The London Fire Commissioner intends to procure a human resources and payroll system. The stated requirement is for provision of the system; no further functions or implementation scope are described. This is a goods procurement for software and information systems, specifically HR or time-accounting software. The system is for the London Fire Commissioner.

This is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned contract period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030. The estimated value is £1.5 million excluding VAT and £1.8 million including VAT. The buyer expects a further procurement notice on 1 March 2027. The planned procurement is presented as one lot. No procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage.

The requirement is relevant to suppliers that provide human resources and payroll software, including systems covering time accounting. Suppliers should assess whether their product can meet the buyer’s eventual requirements for an HR and payroll system and prepare to review the detailed specification when the procurement reaches the market. The stated information does not establish particular technical integrations, implementation services, accreditations, supplier qualifications or capacity thresholds, so businesses should not assume these are required. This is a prospective public-sector system procurement rather than a current invitation to bid.
