COMHAIRLE NAN EILEAN SIAR

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Comhairle nan Eilean Siar seeking a provider for an HR Payroll IT System. This tender falls under the services category, specifically for the Western Isles Area in the UK. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, characterised by the absence of prior publication of a call for competition. The process was initiated with urgency due to a contract expiration with the incumbent supplier, NorthgateArinso UK Limited, whose contract was set to end on 30 June 2017. The award notice for this contract was published on 16 June 2017, allowing a ten-day period for any challenges to this award before entering into the contract.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT solutions and payroll services to enhance their portfolio by collaborating with a regional authority. Companies that can deliver innovative HR systems, particularly those familiar with the CCS Framework RM1042 and public sector procurement, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in these processes can help expand a firm's client base, particularly those focused on public sector contracts, thus contributing to overall business growth in the sector.

Notice Title

HR Payroll IT System

Notice Description

Provision of HR Payroll IT System - Comhairle nan Eilean Siar

Procurement Information

CCS Framework RM1042 covers this requirement. The incumbent supplier NorthgateArinso UK Limited is on this framework. The Comhairle contacted all framework suppliers to gauge interest in providing services from 1 July 2017 and at least 1 supplier other than the incumbent supplier expressed an interest. Therefore on 10 April 2017 the Comhairle issued a further competition through Lot 3 of RM1042 to all framework suppliers. No responses were received which was unforeseeable by the Comhairle. The contract with the current supplier ends on 30 June 2017 and therefore it is extremely urgent that the Comhairle enter into a contract before that date to ensure continuity of service. The incumbent supplier is prepared to offer a contract starting on 1 July 2017 but only for a period of 5 years. It is necessary for the Comhairle to accept their offer for reasons of extreme urgency.
