This engagement aims to gather insights from experienced suppliers for the integration and implementation of the Payroll Module within MaPS, an Oracle-based ERP system. At this stage, the process is in the planning phase, with the UK Health Security Agency soliciting input from potential suppliers. The engagement activities include an Expression of Interest to be submitted by 28 May 2025, a questionnaire to be answered by 13 June 2025, and a UKHSA presentation set for 4 June 2025. This procurement initiative falls under the category of information technology services and is located in London, UK. Suppliers with experience in Oracle Configuration, cloud-based, or SaaS payroll solutions that ensure compliance and robust user experience are particularly encouraged to participate. This early engagement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in integrating Oracle ERP systems and providing payroll solutions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are eligible, and the procurement process will accommodate frameworks, potentially providing a platform for long-term partnerships. The engagement allows suppliers to showcase innovative and scalable solutions, positioning themselves for future competitive bids when the formal Invitation to Tender is released. Participating businesses will be able to understand market capabilities, assess potential challenges, and provide feedback shaping the procurement strategy, thus fostering growth and innovation in their offerings. ## Notice Early Market Engagement Notice to assist the Agency in determining the best way forward for implementation of Payroll Module in MaPS (an Oracle-based ERP system) ### Planning Information UKHSA is undertaking an Early Market Engagement (EME) exercise to inform the potential procurement of services for the implementation of the Agency’s Payroll Module in MaPS (an Oracle-based ERP system) and the associated payroll processing services. This is not a call for competition but a pre-procurement activity aimed at gathering insights from experienced suppliers, understanding the current supplier landscape, and refining the procurement approach ahead of a possible Invitation to Tender (ITT). It aims to ensure that the forthcoming ITT is robust, deliverable, and aligned with current market capabilities. We are particularly interested in cloud-based or SaaS payroll solutions that integrate with Oracle Fusion HR and finance systems, support statutory compliance, and provide strong user experience through self-service capabilities. We are seeking to engage with suppliers who have Oracle Configuration experience and can offer innovative, scalable, and compliant payroll services or systems to support the delivery of accurate, secure, timely, and efficient payroll to our workforce. Objectives of the Market Engagement exercise  Assess market interest and identify any potential challenges or innovations.  Understand the capabilities and offerings available in the market for Oracle ERP system integration and payroll processing services.  Understand potential delivery models, implementation timescales, and support arrangements; including single or multiple supplier approaches.  Assess indicative timelines, costs, and resource implications.  Identify innovative solutions and value-added services.  Test our assumptions and validate our planned approach prior to launching an ITT  Inform the development of a robust business case and procurement strategy.
