## Summary

The Diocese of Coventry Multi Academy Trust has recently completed the award stage for a contract titled "Provision of HR System and Payroll Service". The procurement sought to engage a contractor to manage comprehensive payroll and pension administration, alongside offering a centralised HR system. The contract, valued at £360,000 gross, will be implemented across the United Kingdom with a focus on administrative regions such as UKG33. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, and the primary service category was identified as services. The procurement process culminated with the standstill period ending on 13 May 2026, and the contract is set to start from 14 May 2026, with an initial end date of 31 March 2030, and potential extensions available.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in HR and payroll services, particularly those capable of delivering efficient and compliant systems for educational institutions. Companies with expertise in human resources software, payroll management services, and integrated HR solutions would find this procurement advantageous. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, had notable engagement in the tender phase. The opportunity to expand services as new schools join the Trust also implies potential for long-term collaboration and further contract extensions, enhancing business stability and growth.
