UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured fully outsourced business-process outsourcing (BPO) payroll services. The requirement is for payroll management delivered to the Agency. The awarded service is categorised as payroll management services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Liberata UK Limited on 5 August 2026. It used a competitive selection under a framework agreement and was divided into one lot. The award value is £1,621,318 excluding VAT (£1,945,581.60 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 30 April 2030, with an option to extend for two further years in two one-year extensions. The contract signature was scheduled for 15 October 2026.

For suppliers considering future payroll work for the UK Health Security Agency, this award demonstrates demand for fully outsourced payroll management through a competitive framework route. A credible competitor would need the capacity and expertise to take responsibility for an organisation’s payroll service as a whole, rather than provide only a narrow payroll component. The successful supplier was Liberata UK Limited, which is recorded as an SME; this indicates that the requirement was awarded to a small or medium-sized supplier, though it does not establish the buyer’s eligibility rules or imply that size alone determined the outcome. Providers with experience managing outsourced payroll services and delivering them under framework arrangements are the closest match to the demonstrated requirement.
