## Summary

The current procurement process involves an early market engagement by Richmond and Wandsworth Council, operating across the London Boroughs of Richmond and Wandsworth. The initiative titled "Early Market Engagement - Human Resources, Recruitment and Payroll Integrated Systems Solution" falls under the software package and information systems industry category. The engagement, which aims to explore innovative market solutions, is in the planning stage with the process set to conclude by 18th October 2024. The Council is evaluating the current HR, recruitment, and payroll systems provided by MHR, ahead of their contract expiration in December 2027. Prospective suppliers are required to submit completed questionnaires by noon on the 18th of October 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in innovative HR, recruitment, and payroll systems solutions. Companies experienced in providing integrated systems, potentially including outsourcing and managed service options, will find this engagement particularly beneficial. Large firms with a robust portfolio in software packages and information systems, and capable of meeting the needs of a substantial public sector client, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement exercise aims to support the Council in delivering efficient and updated services, ensuring a comprehensive market review to identify the best solutions available.

## Notice

The Better Service Partnership (The Organisation), serving The London Borough of Richmond and The London Borough of Wandsworth is considering options in relation to current Human Resources, Recruitment and Payroll Integrated Systems currently provided by MHR. In preparation for this, it is the intention to carry out an Early Market Engagement to review the current supply market. The same information will be gathered from all providers who wish to participate. The Organisation currently uses ITrent as its core solution for HR and Payroll and uses TribePad for Recruitment. The current contractual arrangements for both these systems end in December 2027 and as a result The Organisation is gathering industry expertise, innovative solutions, and feedback that will inform the development of our requirements for a new contract. Given the level of investment required the intention of this exercise is to undertake a review of the current market offerings to support The Organisation in delivering its core HR, Recruitment and Payroll services, whilst taking a fresh approach to how these are delivered, including potential outsourcing and managed service options. The purpose of this Early Market Engagement is to gain intelligence on the supply market for our system needs, including timescales and indicative budget. Interested parties should respond to this advert and return completed questionnaires by 12 noon on Friday 18th October 2024.
