## Summary

Karbon Homes procured human resources and payroll software for an organisation with up to 1,400 employees. The requirement covers the HR and payroll software package; the published scope does not describe specific modules, implementation tasks or service features. Delivery is associated with North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a software procurement rather than a works contract or a general HR consultancy assignment, so it is most relevant to providers of HR and payroll systems capable of supporting a housing organisation’s workforce. The buyer is Karbon Homes, a housing provider based in Newcastle.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat PLC; the contract is active and was signed on 22 September 2026. The recorded contract value is £1,657,778.86. The process used a direct award without a prior competition, through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. There was one lot, covering the HR and payroll software requirement, and one bid was recorded. Price was the stated award criterion. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the reported outcome is therefore the award to Softcat PLC and an active contract. No contract duration is stated in the process data.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from Karbon Homes, this award demonstrates demand for HR and payroll software supporting a workforce of up to 1,400 employees. A credible competitor would need an established HR and payroll product able to serve an organisation at that scale, with commercial pricing that can compete when price is the stated evaluation basis. The buyer made this purchase through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, so suppliers seeking to compete through the same route would need relevant framework access. The successful supplier was a large IT provider, indicating that the buyer selected an established technology supplier for this purchase. The requirement is specifically for HR and payroll software; experience in unrelated IT products alone would not establish fit.
