## Summary

The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has awarded a contract for a Managed Payroll Service 2021, aimed at replacing its existing payroll service. This procurement falls under the industry category of payroll management services and is located in Wallingford, England. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, with a total contract value of £148,107. The contract period is set from 1st January 2021 to 31st March 2024. The award was published on 20th March 2021, following a tender period that ended on 6th November 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in payroll and human resource services, particularly those with experience in integrated systems like Workday. Businesses that can offer comprehensive payroll services, including processing pay runs, handling taxes, and managing employee data from multiple third-party sources, would be well-positioned to compete in future contracts. The integration aspect serves as an invitation for innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiencies for similar organisations.

## Notice

UKCEH must procure and implement a managed payroll service to replace the payroll service currently supplied by a third party. The payroll service will need to be designed and operated as part of an integration with UKCEH's Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) system. The payroll service will also need to be able to import, via a method that UKCEH approves, any additional employee data from multiple third party providers as required for payroll service delivery. This typically will be data related to Pensions and Benefits. A separate contract will be established by UKCEH with an approved Workday implementation partner to manage the configuration of the Workday integration and other related activities. The Service Supplier will need to supply a full end-to-end payroll service for circa 550 UKCEH staff including: * Implementation * Processing pay runs * Making payments * Providing payslips * Providing required documents e.g. P45, P60 * Reporting * HMRC interface as UKCEH's agent * Processing of third party payments (pension and benefits) * End of year and annual returns, (ONS, P11D, pension) * HR team and Employee enquiries
