UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service is procuring a payroll administration service for its workforce. The requirement covers the management and administration of payroll, classified as payroll management services (CPV 79211110). The service will be delivered across the United Kingdom, for a public-sector fire and rescue organisation based in Hull. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. Businesses specialising in outsourced payroll administration, payroll processing and associated operational support should find the subject matter relevant. The opportunity is presented as a single service requirement for the buyer, with responsibility centred on providing a managed payroll administration function.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Questions were due by 28 August 2026 at 16:00, and tenders were due by 11 September 2026 at 16:00. The award decision was scheduled for 26 October 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a possible 24-month renewal extending the maximum period to 31 March 2034. The gross estimated value is £840,000. One lot is used. Evaluation is based on pricing at 30%, the initial response at 40%, supplier presentation at 20% and social value at 10%. Offers may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity suits payroll bureaux, specialist payroll outsourcers and other suppliers able to provide a managed payroll administration service to a public-sector organisation. It is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME with the relevant operational capability can compete alongside larger providers. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their initial response, explain their service through a presentation and offer a competitive pricing model. Social value forms part of the assessment, making this relevant to businesses that can attach measurable wider community or social benefits to their delivery approach. The requirement is substantial and supports a sustained service relationship rather than a one-off assignment.
