UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

LTE Group procured the continued provision of an integrated human resources, payroll and analytics service from MHR International UK Limited. The requirement covers the full iTrent suite, including HR management, payroll, employee self-service, manager dashboards, organisation charts, mobile access, learning and development, recruitment and web recruitment, timesheets and expenses, GDPR, interactive payslips, eP60s and eSlips, pension and statutory reporting, workflow data publishing, SOAP web services and Broadbean job-board integration. Associated support, maintenance and third-party services are included. This is a personnel and payroll services requirement. Delivery covers locations across England and Wales, with LTE Group as the public-sector buyer based in Manchester. The work suits suppliers providing enterprise HR and payroll platforms with implementation continuity, software support and related managed services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MHR International UK Limited. LTE Group used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The single lot and tender are recorded as complete. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 29 February 2028. Its value is £156,452 excluding VAT, or £187,742.40 including VAT. The contract is active and includes an option for additional purchases if required. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award covers the iTrent HR, payroll and analytics suite, together with support, maintenance and third-party services, for the buyer’s operations across England and Wales.

This award shows established demand from LTE Group for a broad, integrated HR, payroll and analytics environment rather than a single-purpose payroll tool. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature platform covering core HR, payroll, employee and manager self-service, recruitment, learning, time and expenses, GDPR, pensions and statutory reporting. It would also need to support mobile access, interactive digital payslips, organisation charts, workflow publishing, SOAP web services and integration with external recruitment services such as Broadbean. Relevant capability includes dependable support and maintenance, continuity for an existing enterprise system, third-party service management and the ability to serve operations across England and Wales. Suppliers with strong public-sector payroll knowledge and a complete suite would be best placed to compete.
