Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured an NJC and Chief Officers job evaluation and pay modelling system. The requirement is for a service supporting the evaluation of roles and modelling of pay for the council’s workforce. The associated service classification is payroll management, although the stated requirement is specifically a job evaluation and pay modelling system. Delivery is in the Wakefield area. The procurement was organised as a single lot, covering the system requirement as one package.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PILAT EUROPE LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026, with a period running from 23 September 2026 to 6 September 2029. Its value is £28,000 including tax. The procurement was below the applicable threshold; the specific procedure is not identified in the published details. The requirement was assessed as one lot, and no award criteria or evaluation weighting are reported.

For suppliers tracking Wakefield’s demand, this award shows the council buys specialist support for job evaluation and pay modelling covering both NJC and Chief Officers roles. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need a system and service suited to evaluating roles and modelling pay across these staff groups, with the expertise to support the council’s specific job evaluation approach. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of that scale was selected for this contract. The classification as payroll management is a broader service label; suppliers should focus their capability on job evaluation and pay modelling rather than general payroll processing.
