The procurement method was limited, and the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons. This contract, valued at £1,280,451.27, was awarded to Access UK Ltd. The procurement process is now in the award stage, with the contract being signed on 31st October 2024. The primary category for this procurement falls under goods within the education sector, specifically located in Cardiff, UKL22 region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in HR systems, particularly those that already have compatible modules with Access UK's Core HR product.
