## Summary

East Lothian Council is set to lead the procurement process for a new Human Resource and Payroll Solution, with an option for Midlothian Council to participate after their existing contract concludes.

The delivery locations for the solutions will cover both East Lothian and Midlothian. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register their interest by the upcoming notice date of 1st September 2017 to provide recommendations addressing key areas such as time and attendance recording, sickness absence management, and expense claims.
