## Summary

The Cumbria County Council is procuring School Payroll and HR Administration Services through an open tender process. This initiative aims to establish a supplier framework for approximately 180 Non-Cheque Book Maintained Schools in Cumbria, predominantly primary schools. The tender was published on 9 April 2020, and interested suppliers were given until 11 May 2020 to submit their proposals. The total contract value is £1,230,000, covering a contract period from 1 November 2020 to 31 March 2024, with up to four suppliers expected to be awarded roles on the framework.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in payroll and HR administration services. Given the scale and specific requirements of the schools involved, companies that can demonstrate effective, timely, and cost-efficient service delivery will be well-positioned to compete. Enterprises across various sizes, particularly those with a strong track record and experience in educational settings, could find valuable opportunities for business growth through further competitions awarding contracts on a price-only basis.

## Notice

The Council plans to establish a framework of suppliers who can offer an effective, timely and cost effective Payroll and HR Administration Service to Non-Cheque Book Maintained Schools in Cumbria. Currently there are 180 Schools who plan to initially use this framework which are predominantly Primary Schools, and range in size of staffing numbers however numbers may change subject to individual school needs. It is envisaged that a maximum of 4 suppliers will be awarded onto the framework. Please note that any supplier scoring less than 50% of the quality marks available will not be awarded a place on the framework. Further competitions will be conducted under the framework by individual schools (or by the Council on behalf of individual schools) and these will be awarded on price alone.
