## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is initiating an early market engagement for a Payroll System, classified under Software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000). The council's current payroll solution is due to expire on 31st March 2026, prompting the need to explore new options. This planning stage, beginning on 25th July 2024, seeks market input particularly focused on systems that integrate effectively with MS Dynamics. Interested parties have until 7th August 2024 to participate in this engagement, which is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This early market engagement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in payroll solutions, especially those capable of seamless integration with MS Dynamics. The £2,500,000 budget underscores the scale and potential profitability of the project. SMEs are encouraged to engage, making this an attractive proposition for smaller enterprises aiming for growth. Suitable businesses include those with a strong track record in software solutions and information systems tailored to public sector requirements.

## Notice

The current Payroll Solution provided by Access UK Ltd is due to expire on 31/03/2026. Therefore, a new solution must be procured and in place to ensure business continuity. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is undertaking a period of Early Market Engagement to better understand the market for payroll solutions, particularly those that offer effective integrations with MS Dynamics. If you wish to be involved in this market engagement, please use the link to the Council's Procontract eTendering portal to download the Early Market Engagement Questionnaire and return via email.
