This procurement process is aimed at bringing the framework agreement back in-house, with a value of up to £12 million. The tender is in the 'tenderUpdate' stage, and it is structured as an open procedure to cover the entire United Kingdom, focusing on service delivery within the human resources management consultancy sector. Interested parties should note that the final date for tender submission is 1st July 2026, with the award period concluding on 21st November 2026. The procurement will be facilitated through the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in human resources, payroll, and screening services, to gain foothold in the public sector. It is especially ideal for SMEs and VCSEs, given the suitability noted in the tender documentation. The framework agreement allows participation of up to 40 suppliers, providing ample opportunity for varied business sizes and capacities to compete. Successful suppliers will benefit from providing services to a broad range of institutions, including educational and local authorities, thereby contributing to long-term business growth and stability. The contracts, covering four lots, will span from November 2026 to November 2029, with potential extensions, which offers a stable business opportunity in the targeted industry. ## Notice For the past few years, CPC has outsourced the contract management of its HR, Payroll and Employee Screening Services framework agreement for various reasons, one of which being capacity internally. We are now looking to bring this framework back in-house and this tender exercise will form the new iteration of the framework. Suppliers must be capable of delivering high-quality, cost-effective HR, Payroll and Employee Screening Services to institutions such as schools, academies, colleges, universities, and educational trusts, as well as local authorities and the wider public sector. CPC will be using the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform to carry out this tender.
