## Summary

Capital City College, located in London, is engaging in a planning process to procure HR and Payroll Software Services, detailed under procurement ID HRPA_2026. This market engagement initiative aims to gather Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the development and provision of a comprehensive HR & Payroll software system suitable for a further education college with about 2100 users. The procurement process is in the planning stage as of 13th April 2026, with a critical milestone scheduled for 20th April 2026, by which stakeholders are encouraged to contribute feedback via the Intend portal. This exercise is designed to refine the procurement strategy and ensure value for money, including potentially using compliant frameworks. This initiative bears the promise of a contract period starting on 1st May 2027 and potentially extending up to 2037, with an estimated budget of £1,375,000 (net) or £1,650,000 (gross).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses capable of providing robust HR & Payroll software solutions, financial systems, and transaction-processing services. It offers a platform for vendors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, to expand their footprint within the public sector by catering to a large educational institution. Such an opportunity would be ideal for firms specialising in software package suites, business intelligence, software support, and consultancy services, given the tender's comprehensive CPV classifications.
