Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) has awarded a contract for the development and support of their HR and Payroll System Software to NorthgateArinso UK Ltd. The contract, valued at £214,658, was signed on 25 January 2018 and is set to remain active for a two-year period, ending on 24 January 2020. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication, justified by the necessity of continuity in support for the Optimum system which can only be provided by NorthgateArinso due to their exclusive rights. This procurement falls within the public order and safety industry category, specifically pertaining to services, and is located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and support, particularly those familiar with human resource management systems. Companies that could effectively leverage this contract are those with a proven track record in delivering bespoke software solutions or those who can innovate upon existing systems to enhance functionality and user experience. As the contracting authority plans to issue a call for competition for a new integrated HR and Payroll system before the current contract expires, businesses looking to expand their service offerings should closely monitor this evolving opportunity.

Notice Title

HR and Payroll System Software and Support

Notice Description

The SCTS has entered into contract with NorthgateArinso UK Ltd for the additional development and amendment work to the existing 'Optimum' human resource softwares system for a period of 2 (two) years until 24.01.2020.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Additional software development of the contracting authority's customised 'Optimum' time accounting and human resources software service where competition is absent for technical reasons, and where a change of supplier would result in technical incompatibility and interoperability with the current software system.. The contracting authority intends issuing a call for competition for a new integrated HR and Payroll system at an appropriate time before the end of the proposed contract extension period.

Procurement Information

The required ongoing development of the system can only be delivered by NorthgateArinso UK Limited due to their exclusive rights in and to the Optimum system. Any change involving a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance of the current system.
