Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has initiated a limited procurement process for the provision of licensing and support for an Integrated Human Resources and Payroll solution, located in Perth, Scotland. The contract, which includes associated time recording and human resource management software, aims to support the functionality of current systems until 31 October 2023.

Notice Title

Licensing and Support for an Integrated Human Resources and Payroll solution

Notice Description

Licensing and support for an Integrated Human Resources and Payroll system, supplemented with time recording and human resource management software.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a voluntary ex ante transparency(VEAT)notice. Perth and Kinross Council intends to contract with NorthgateArinso UK Limited for the provision of licensing and support for: a)Optimum Time and Attendance flexitime software system and associated hardware maintenance for a period of five years to 31 October 2023. b) ResourceLink Integrated Human Resources and Payroll system for a period of five years to 31 October 2023.

Procurement Information

The Council's current requirement is strategically aligned to the functionality of the ResourceLink and Optimum products. The impact on service delivery and cost implications of changing to a new product would reduce the Council's ability to provide Best Value. The required licensing and support of this product can only be provided by NorthgateArinso for technical reasons and due to the supplier's exclusive rights in and to the proprietary ResourceLink and Optimum products. Accordingly, it is considered that the proposed award of contract to NorthgateArinso meets with the requirements of EU Directive 2014/24/EC, Article 32(2)(ii) and (iii) as incorporated into Scots Law by the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) and (iii).
