## Summary

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO), a central government public authority, is in the planning stage for a new procurement process titled "Provision of Workday Implementation Partner." The project aims to modernise and integrate the IPO's Human Capital Management, Payroll, and Finance operations through the implementation of Workday, a cloud-based platform. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically software programming and consultancy services, with an estimated value of £3,000,000. This initiative is based in Newport, UK, with preliminary market engagement scheduled to conclude by 24 February 2026. The IPO seeks an experienced systems integrator and intends to have the implementation partner in place by November 2026.

This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software consultancy and systems integration, particularly those with expertise in Workday implementations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with comprehensive solutions offering end-to-end project delivery for finance, HCM, and payroll services would find this tender particularly advantageous. The framework agreement and potential for contract renewal offer further business potential beyond the initial implementation, ending in February 2030. The IPO's strategic transformation ensures successful bidders can establish a lasting partnership and demonstrate their capabilities in a large-scale government project.

## Notice

The IPO are seeking information from experienced Workday systems integrators (SIs) capable of delivering an end-to-end implementation of Workday Financial Management, Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), and Payroll for our organisation. This RFI aims to validate the market's capability, implementation approaches, indicative timelines and costs, risk areas, and value-added services.

### Planning Information

The IPO is embarking on a strategic transformation to modernise our Human Capital Management (HCM), Payroll and Finance operations by implementing Workday, a unified cloud-based platform. This initiative addresses critical challenges posed by the current environment of multiple aging, legacy systems that operate in silos, lack integration, and require extensive manual intervention
