## Summary

South Norfolk District Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Secure Human Resources (HR) Software as a Service and Payroll Outsourcing, facilitated through a call-off from G-Cloud 13 framework agreements. The procurement falls under the industry category of Time accounting or human resources software package (CPV code: 48450000) and is awarded to CIPHR Ltd. The procurement, valued at £534,983, covers services in the East of England, United Kingdom, under a selective procurement method. The contract was originally issued in July 2023 and has been extended to conclude by 20th July 2027, following a 12-month contract extension effective from 17th July 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in HR and payroll software solutions, especially those capable of delivering innovative and scalable Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. Larger companies, which can accommodate the stringent requirements of a government framework agreement and deliver additional features such as analytics subscriptions, would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities. Moreover, suppliers with a strong presence in the East of England would benefit from the localised nature of the service provision outlined in the contract terms.
