UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited procured employer of record services for its international employees in countries where it does not have a legal employing entity. The service covers onboarding, employment administration, payroll processing, benefits administration, tax and statutory compliance, offboarding, and related human resources and employment support. The provider must manage these activities in line with the employment legislation and regulatory requirements applicable in each country, supporting employees engaged by Ordnance Survey throughout the contract. This is an international workforce administration and employment compliance requirement, rather than a conventional employee relocation service, although the procurement is classified under that related service category. Delivery is for Ordnance Survey’s international operations, with the published delivery location identified as the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Deel, Inc. under a direct award below the threshold without competition. The single lot is complete, and the award remains active. The contract was signed on 21 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its value is £170,000 excluding VAT and £204,000 including VAT. The requirement is below the applicable threshold. The arrangement provides ongoing employer of record services for international employees during the contract period. The recorded procurement category is services, and the contract is identified as being under a concession special regime. The award outcome shows that Deel, Inc. was selected as the supplier for the whole requirement.

For a supplier assessing future work of this kind, the requirement demonstrates demand from Ordnance Survey for an integrated international employment platform rather than a single payroll service. A credible competitor would need to onboard and administer employees across jurisdictions, process payroll, manage benefits, handle tax and statutory obligations, and support compliant offboarding. It would also need reliable knowledge of local employment law and regulatory requirements, with the operational capacity to provide continuing support as the buyer engages employees in different countries. Experience coordinating employment administration for an organisation without employing entities in every relevant jurisdiction would be particularly relevant. The requirement may suit an established employer of record, global workforce management or international HR services provider with broad country coverage and robust compliance controls.
