## Summary

Hopwood Hall College is seeking a supplier for a fully integrated human resources and payroll system, including its provision, implementation and ongoing support. The requirement combines HR and payroll software with payroll management services. The college is based in Rochdale, and delivery is specified in the United Kingdom. The procurement is for services and is organised as a single lot. The system is intended to support the college’s HR and payroll functions through one integrated solution; suppliers should consult the procurement requirements to understand the detailed scope and implementation expectations.

The college invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 16 October 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The estimated contract period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, up to 30 June 2032. The estimated value is £420,000 excluding VAT (£504,000 including VAT). Award is based on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%. The selection criteria cover economic and technical capability; further details are set out in the procurement documents. Bids may be submitted in English electronically. The scheduled award decision date is 1 July 2027.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to deliver an integrated HR and payroll platform and take responsibility for implementation and continuing support, alongside payroll management services. The college describes the requirement as needing a suitably experienced supplier, so relevant experience deploying and supporting systems that combine HR and payroll functions will be important. The substantial quality weighting means bidders should be ready to demonstrate the usability, reliability and service arrangements of their proposed solution, as well as its price. The single-lot arrangement calls for a supplier able to cover the combined requirement rather than bid for a separate component. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable participants. The technical and economic selection requirements should be checked in the procurement documents.
