## Summary

The Anthem Schools Trust is seeking proposals for HR and Payroll Services, with a total contract value of £300,000. This open procedure tender is currently in the active stage and is set to close on 5th March 2021. The successful provider will support 16 state-funded schools situated in Reading, UK, offering essential outsourced services in personnel and payroll management. The contract duration is planned for three years, with a possible two-year extension by mutual agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in HR and payroll services, particularly those experienced in the education sector. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with statutory requirements and possess a strong background in human resources management consultancy are well-suited to compete. With the growing trend towards outsourcing functions within educational organisations, successful bidders could establish long-term relationships with the Anthem Schools Trust and potentially expand their service offerings across additional schools within the multi-academy trust framework.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Anthem Schools Trust (Anthem) is a multi-academy trust comprising 16 schools (both primary and secondary). Anthem is founded on the principle of collaboration and intrinsic to this is the belief that we can achieve more together than we could as single entities. This includes being able to pool our resources to access better prices for products and services that all schools are accessing on a regular basis. The Trust is looking to appoint a single provider for outsourced HR and Payroll services, following the termination of the previous contract that has been in place since 2015.

Renewal: The contract will be for a period of 3 years with an optional extension for an additional 2 years by mutual agreement.
