Summary of the contracting process

The Government Actuary’s Department bought access to iTrent human resources and payroll software for its staff administration and pay processes. The requirement is a 12-month software access agreement, categorised as a time-accounting or human-resources software package (CPV 48450000). The buyer is a central government department based in London. The software is for use in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MHR International UK Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The agreement was signed on 2 October 2026. The contract runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2027. Its value is £71,093.32 excluding VAT (£85,311.98 including VAT). There was one lot, covering access to iTrent HR and payroll software, and the award is active. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded; the route was a non-competitive direct award.

For software suppliers, this award demonstrates the Government Actuary’s Department’s demand for established HR and payroll software supplied through a time-limited access agreement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a comparable integrated HR and payroll platform, with the functionality to support the department’s staff administration and payroll needs, and the capacity to provide access and support across the agreement period. The selected supplier, MHR International UK Limited, is a large company, indicating that a sizeable provider was successful in this instance. The purchase was made by direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish the technical or commercial criteria that would apply in a future procurement.
