Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Legal Complaints is procuring cloud-based human resources and payroll systems, including migration from its current system. This is a public-sector HR technology and implementation services requirement, covering the supply and introduction of a replacement system rather than software development alone. The buyer is based in Birmingham. Delivery is required across England and Wales, so suppliers will need to support a geographically distributed organisation and its workforce. The procurement is presented as one integrated requirement, combining the cloud platform, payroll capability and migration activity. It will suit providers able to deliver a complete HR systems service, including implementation and transition from an existing solution.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The estimated value is £108,000 excluding VAT, or £139,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 March 2027 to 1 March 2030, with a potential one-year extension to 1 March 2031. There is one lot, and the requirement is evaluated on the best fit against the request for proposal details and use cases. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement uses an electronic-submission policy marked as not allowed.

This opportunity suits HR technology providers offering cloud-based human resources and payroll platforms, particularly those with a proven migration capability. Suppliers should be able to move data and processes from the Office for Legal Complaints’ current system into the replacement service, while supporting implementation and operational use across England and Wales. Relevant experience includes delivering integrated HR and payroll systems, managing transition from legacy platforms, and demonstrating that the proposed solution fits the buyer’s stated requirements and practical use cases. The single integrated lot favours suppliers able to provide the platform and migration service together, although the requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs. Providers with adaptable systems and strong implementation expertise are well placed to compete.
