## Summary

The Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) is procuring a new stand-alone, cloud-based payroll system under the title "Payroll System". Classified within the industry category of Software Packages and Information Systems, this procurement aims to integrate with the existing Microsoft Dynamics HR system. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract, awarded to MHR International UK Limited, is valued at GBP 1,364,393. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030, with potential extensions for up to a total of ten years. This award stage was completed on 5 June 2025, with the payroll system scheduled to become operational by April 2026, following a parallel testing phase starting January 2026.

This procurement provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software package development and information systems, particularly those capable of delivering robust, cloud-based solutions that integrate with Microsoft systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) had the opportunity to compete in this tender, opening pathways for business growth through long-term service provision and collaboration with a large municipal council. Businesses within the United Kingdom, specifically in the South West region, were ideally suited for this project due to the geographical requirements for delivery and maintenance of services.

## Notice

BCP Council is tendering for the supply and maintenance of a stand-alone, cloud-based payroll system to use alongside our Microsoft Dynamics HR system. The new Payroll system will come into effect from 01 April 2026, with parallel running of payslips with the current system from 01 January 2026. The contract will be for an initial period of five years with the option to extend for a further 5 years (5+3+2). Therefore, if all extensions were taken the full length of the contract would be for ten years. The new payroll system will be used by the Council's in-house Payroll Team and will manage an end-to-end payroll and pensions process. There is currently a standalone payroll system in place for which the contract term is due to end on 31 March 2026. The council aims to implement a more modern, automated and cloud-based SaaS payroll system that can integrate with Microsoft MS Dynamics 365.
