## Summary

The Pirbright Institute is seeking a supplier to provide payroll services, delivering accurate and timely payroll in line with legislative requirements. The work is for the Institute, based at Pirbright Laboratory in Woking. The requirement is classified as payroll management services and is a single service contract. Suppliers would need to handle the Institute’s payroll processing and ensure it meets applicable legislative requirements.

The Institute invited offers through an open competition below the UK procurement threshold. This is the tender stage. The deadline for questions was 2 November 2026 at 17:00, and the submission deadline was 18 November 2026 at 17:00. The stated contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for two years, to a maximum end date of 31 March 2031. The stated procurement value is £85,000 gross. The award is weighted 70% on quality and 30% on price. Bids may be submitted electronically through the Institute’s procurement portal.

This opportunity suits payroll providers able to run an organisation’s payroll accurately and on schedule, while keeping processing compliant with legislative requirements. Suppliers should be equipped to deliver an ongoing payroll service throughout the contract period and, if the extension is taken up, continue delivery for the additional period. The buyer’s evaluation places greater weight on quality than price, so a strong offer should demonstrate a reliable service, sound payroll processes and the ability to meet legal obligations as well as provide competitive pricing. The requirement is a single service contract for the Institute rather than a multi-lot procurement.
