## Summary

The Essex County Fire & Rescue Service is seeking to award a contract for the "Provision of a Human Resources and Organisational Development Business Solution." This procurement process falls under the industry category of software package and information systems (CPV 48000000) and is located in the East of England, UK. The contract, valued at £248,961, is at the award stage, with an initial term of three years commencing from 21st February 2017, and an option to extend annually for up to a maximum of seven years. The tender process employed is a selective (restricted) procedure, and the tender period ended on 14th February 2017.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in integrated IT solutions for HR, payroll, and learning management systems. Businesses with expertise in delivering configurable e-HRM systems that can interface with existing organisational workflows would be particularly well-suited to compete for this work. Companies capable of providing a 'vanilla' product with minimal configuration are expected to excel in this tender.

## Notice

The Essex Fire Authority wishes to award a contract to provide an integrated IT system to deliver HR, Payroll and Learning management functions. The Essex Fire Authority require a specialist e-HRM solution offering core HR, Payroll, Time and Attendance, Self Service and Learning Management modules. The Authority is looking for a 'vanilla' system which will require either none, or minimal configuration and that is capable of capturing the complexities of the Authority's work patterns and varying terms and conditions of employment. It is not looking for an ERP as other systems of choice are already in use throughout the organisation. The Essex Fire Authority does however require a system with interface capabilities to provide the workflow of information to other systems. The contract will be for an initial term of 3 years, with an option to extend annually up to a maximum of 7 years.
