The contract covers a 24-month period from 01/04/23 to 31/03/25. The services are classified under personnel and payroll services, with a total contract value of £23,000,000. The procurement method used was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender opportunity for providing payroll services to a legacy cohort of contingent labour can benefit businesses specializing in personnel and payroll services. The contract offers a significant value and spans over two years, providing a stable revenue stream for successful bidders. Companies with expertise in managing legacy contingent labour resources and exclusive rights protection may find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. ## Notice Provision of payroll services for payment of legacy contingent labour resources until 31/03/25. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Provision of payroll services for payment of legacy contingent labour resources from 01/04/23 to 31/03/25. There was a contract between Intelligent Resources Ltd and Post Office which came to an end 31/03/23. Following a competition under Crown Commercial Services Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework RM6160 ? Lots 2&3, a new Contract was awarded to Morson Human Resources Ltd t/a Morson Talent, with effect from 01/04/23. There were c150 of the Intelligent Resource Ltd resource that could not transfer to the new Contract with Morsons because of exclusive rights that Intelligent Resources Ltd had in the Contract with Post Office. A direct award under Regulation 32(b)(iii) - protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights was made to Intelligent Resource Ltd to provide payroll services for the payment of the legacy resources that were required to continue with Post Office. ### Procurement Information This contract has been awarded in accordance with the negotiated procedure without prior publication under regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Cotnracts Regulations 2015. The services can only be supplied by Intelligent Resources Ltd ("IR") because it has exclusive rights to the contingent labour resources currently delivering services to POL (the ?Resources?). The Resources were engaged to deliver certain assignments for POL (the ?Assignments?) under POLs contract with IR that expired on 31/03/2023 (the ?Old Contract?). The Assignments went beyond the end of the Old Contract but could not be transferred to POLs replacement supplier because IR had exclusive rights to the Resources. On the basis of those exclusive rights, POL could not secure the delivery of the Assignments by the Resources with any other supplier of contingent labour. POL, therefore, required a further contract be awarded to IR to enable the Resources to continue with the Assignments until the completion of those Assignments. There is no reasonable alternative to awarding the contract to IR because POL could not change the Resources that were delivering the Assignments without causing substantial disruption to its business. The Assignments were required to cover projects of strategic importance to provide support on New Branch IT (Information Technology) (NBIT) and the statutory Inquiry. It would not have been reasonable for POL to have changed the contingent labour that is delivering the Resources. Because IR had its exclusive rights over the Resources, there were no reasonable alternatives to the award of the contract to IR. The absence of competition is not caused by an artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement because POL has ensured that all resources that could feasibly be transferred to its replacement supplier have been transferred. Only the Resources to which IR has exclusive rights have been retained for the contract and only for the period of the Assignments. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017657-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Jun 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £23,000,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POST OFFICE LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2V 7ER | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Bassishaw | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | INTELLIGENT RESOURCE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79631000 - Personnel and payroll services ## Release History - 6 Jun 2024 at 16:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017657-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.postoffice.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
