It involves appointing an Employer of Record (EoR) to handle legal, tax, and regulatory compliance across various international jurisdictions, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. As the University expands its global activities, additional regions such as parts of Africa, South-East Asia, North America, and South America may be included. The process is currently in the Tender stage, with a procurement method of open procedure. Key dates include a submission deadline of 30th March 2026, and the contract period is set for 1080 days with potential renewal options. This opportunity falls under the services category and is valued at £1,450,000 GBP. The tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services with international reach and expertise in compliance across varied legal systems. Organisations adept at establishing legal entities in new jurisdictions to provide employee benefits and assume employer liabilities are well-suited to pursue this contract. Successful bidders will demonstrate a robust capability to act as statutory employers and handle associated requirements such as employment contracts, tax enrolments, and workers' welfare. With scope for service extension to additional territories, this contract represents potential for substantial long-term growth for businesses capable of expanding their operational footprint internationally. ## Notice The purpose of this contract is to appoint a Employer of Record (EoR) that meets the specific legal, tax and regulatory compliance obligations in every jurisdiction where it operates to employ and support University-directed staff across India, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka, with the ability to extend service provisions to additional territories as the University's international activity develops. Future regions may include, but are not limited to, parts of Africa, South-East Asia, North America and South America and tenderers must therefore demonstrate that, in any new jurisdiction, they have (or are able to establish) a recognised legal presence or registered local entity that allows them to act as the statutory employer, including the legal authority to issue compliant employment contracts, enrol employees in mandatory tax and social security systems, provide statutory benefits and assume all employer liabilities such as workers compensation, unemployment insurance and welfare contributions. Without such legal authority, and organisation cannot lawfully operate as a EoR. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The purpose of this contract is to appoint a Employer of Record (EoR) that meets the specific legal, tax and regulatory compliance obligations in every jurisdiction where it operates to employ and support University-directed staff across India, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka, with the ability to extend service provisions to additional territories as the University's international activity develops.
