UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Connect2Framework is procuring umbrella company and payroll management services for public sector organisations. The framework is intended for CSKL, its joint venture partners and other contracting authorities in the United Kingdom and Channel Islands, including local authorities, NHS bodies, police, fire and rescue services, educational institutions, registered charities, and publicly owned or funded companies. Suppliers would provide payroll-related administration associated with umbrella company services and timesheet processing. The buying organisation is Connect2Framework for Umbrella Company Services to the Public Sector, based in Kings Hill, Kent. This is a services opportunity covering public sector users across the UK and Channel Islands, rather than a single-site delivery contract.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. It is an open framework agreement using contracts awarded both with and without reopening competition. The tender deadline was 16 October 2026 at 23:59, enquiries closed on 12 October 2026 at 23:55, and the award decision was due by 18 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 28 February 2034, with the open framework scheme ending on 28 February 2034 at 23:59. The estimated value is £90,000,000 gross. A £5 fee applies per timesheet. Evaluation focuses on proven reliability and Saferec certification.

This opportunity suits established umbrella company and payroll providers able to support public sector customers across multiple organisations and sectors. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable processing of timesheets and associated payroll administration at framework scale, with systems and controls capable of serving local authorities, health bodies, emergency services, education providers, charities and publicly funded companies. Saferec certification is a central requirement in the evaluation, so providers with that certification and evidence of dependable delivery are best placed to compete. Suppliers must also manage regulatory and compliance risk carefully: addition to the HMRC watchlist would result in immediate removal from the framework. The arrangement may suit firms prepared for both direct call-offs and competitions between framework suppliers.
