## Summary

Bristol City Council is currently planning a procurement process titled "HR & Payroll" aimed at exploring potential HR and Payroll solutions. This initiative falls under the IT services category, with a projected budget of £1,000,000. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a key milestone, the engagement end date, set for 23rd February 2018. Interested parties may participate in the soft market testing exercise by registering on the ProContract procurement portal, where additional information is available.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in consulting, software development, and integrated IT solutions. Companies that can offer cloud-based, internally hosted, or externally hosted systems that seamlessly integrate with existing platforms, including finance and security systems, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender could aid businesses in expanding their client base within the public sector.

## Notice

Bristol City Council ("BCC") is undertaking a Market Testing Exercise in relation to HR & Payroll solutions available. This will feed into the development of BCC's ongoing strategy in this area. BCC is open minded as to how an organisation may provide an HR & Payroll solution and is willing to consider provision of a system (that may be hosted internally, externally or cloud based) or a service. Any solution will need to integrate into BCC's existing systems, e.g. finance, security, ICT, Active Directory etc. For the avoidance of doubt, this process is for the purpose of conducting a soft market testing exercise, and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by BCC to undertake any procurement exercise. If you wish to take part in this Soft Market Testing Exercise, please register to use the ProContract procurement portal: https://procontract.due-north.com/Register. The reference for this project is DN 280746.
