## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured payroll and pension services for its organisation. The requirement covers the management and administration of payroll and pension arrangements, classified as payroll management services (CPV 79211110). The services are delivered in Leicester, at the Trust’s Leicester Royal Infirmary location, and relate to the Trust’s operations in the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The selected supplier is CIVICA UK LIMITED, a large company based in London. Businesses assessing comparable public-sector opportunities should therefore focus on providers able to support the payroll and pension administration needs of a major NHS trust and deliver the service in a regulated healthcare environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2023 to CIVICA UK LIMITED. The award value is £2,231,068. The contract runs from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2027. The requirement was placed through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2023 at 12:00. The contract was evaluated as a single requirement, with no separate lots identified. The procurement was classified as a services contract. It was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award is active.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for a combined payroll and pension services capability at Trust scale. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide reliable payroll administration alongside pension processing, with the operational capacity to support a large public-sector workforce throughout a multi-year contract. Experience of NHS or similarly regulated organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, confidentiality, compliance and service continuity requirements. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a public-sector framework and meet the assurance, implementation and ongoing support expectations associated with a complex outsourced service. The outcome indicates that the buyer selected a large specialist provider, so competitors would need robust systems, resilient delivery arrangements and evidence of managing comparable payroll and pension workloads.
