## Summary

Wyre Borough Council procured an integrated human resources and payroll software service for its workforce administration. The system covers personnel records, payroll, specialist HR, multiple contracts, public-sector returns, recruitment, learning and development, benefits calculations including vehicles, and employee self-service. It also includes a BACS payment interface, general ledger interface, report designer, design tools, API and Excel tools, and a client-server system. The software charge includes compliance with tax, social security and payroll legislation. The procurement is for software and associated IT services, rather than physical goods or construction. The council is based in Poulton-le-Fylde, and the recorded delivery location is in Lancashire, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FRONTIER SOFTWARE PLC. Wyre Borough Council used a direct award without competition, below the relevant threshold. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 6 November 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a maximum possible end date of 31 March 2029 through one available 12-month extension. Its value is £58,000 excluding VAT and £69,600 including VAT. The award is active, as is the contract. The procurement was organised as a single lot. The published information gives no evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements to report.

For suppliers targeting Wyre Borough Council’s HR and payroll requirement, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated platform spanning core personnel and payroll processing, specialist HR, recruitment, learning and development, benefits, self-service and public-sector reporting. A credible competitor would need to deliver these functions as a joined-up service, support payroll and HR workflows across multiple contract types, and provide dependable interfaces with BACS and general ledger systems. Reporting, configuration and API or spreadsheet integration capabilities are also part of the requirement, alongside compliance with applicable tax, social security and payroll legislation. The selected supplier was a software provider, and the scale is a focused council system rather than a broad multi-buyer framework. The route used was a below-threshold direct award, so the award does not demonstrate competition or comparative evaluation criteria.
