This initiative focuses on the provision of human resource management consultancy services within the public sector, specifically targeting schools, academies, and multi academy trusts across the United Kingdom. Interested suppliers have the opportunity to participate in early market engagement discussions, which conclude on 20th July 2018, to help shape the framework structure and requirements as it develops. This early market engagement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in human resource services and consultancy. Companies that wish to contribute to the design and specification of this framework will benefit from engaging directly with Northern Procurement Group Limited. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as they can offer tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of the public sector. By aligning their offerings with the requirements of CPC Members, businesses can create pathways for future contracts and growth in a competitive market. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition but is an early market engagement exercise to enable Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) to engage with suppliers to better understand the market and explore potential structures and specifications for an Outsourced Human Resource Services and Payroll Framework (not including temporary or permanent staff services) . The framework will service the needs of CPC Members and the wider Public Sector as a whole. The CPC wishes to go to market for a framework and to this end, would like to invite suppliers to engage with it, through its procurement partners NPG Limited, to discuss the nature of the forthcoming framework, its' design, specification and constructs. This notice is seeking suppliers who may wish to engage with us in this regard. Additional information: The Outsourced Human Resource Services and Payroll Services Framework will provide CPC Members and organisations throughout the public sector with access to professional human resource services; with the primary market for this framework expected to be schools, academies and multi academy trusts. The exact nature of the specification and the framework Lot structure has yet to be determined and this early market engagement is critical in ensuring an appropriate framework structure and specification is established. The exact volume of business through this framework is unknown at this time and is solely dependent upon the extent to which CPC Members and wider public sector organisations decide to utilise the resulting framework. The Early Market Engagement is a valuable opportunity for suppliers to find out more about CPC and the needs of its membership, whilst inputting into the design and specification of this important framework. The CPC is seeking to engage with organisations to understand the market and thus deliver a successful framework for CPC Members and the wider public sector as a whole and therefore suppliers wishing to engage with CPC should email its' procurement partner NPG Limited at info@npg-ltd.com detailing your company name, the name of the person wishing to engage on behalf of your company and their contact details. Thereafter discussions will be held with interested suppliers on an individual basis. Discussions will conclude on 20th July 2018. The supplier discussions will be used to help shape the framework requirements ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d0ac4e-fe6d-43d2-8679-48e0f1da67be | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 Jul 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHERN PROCUREMENT GROUP LIMITED | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M6 6AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Pendleton & Charlestown | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79414000 - Human resources management consultancy services ## Release History - 26 Jun 2018 at 09:03 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d0ac4e-fe6d-43d2-8679-48e0f1da67be ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d0ac4e-fe6d-43d2-8679-48e0f1da67be 26th June 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
