Supply, Installation & Maintenance of HR and Payroll System
East Durham College is seeking to replace its current HR and Payroll combined system with a modern, user-friendly interface and a comprehensive, accurate user-friendly reporting function. It should be able to link directly to Sage 200 or be supported by its own finance package (separate tender).
The reporting function will need to be if possible compatible with Sage 200 Finance/Accounting systems or have a finance package linked to it (separate tender). It should be able to accommodate bespoke reports which can report on and span not only tax years (April to March) but also our financial year (August to July) and academic years (September to August) as well as be able to interpret and calculate data. The reporting functionality should also if possible, facilitate reports being exported in a range of formats including but not limited to excel, word and pdf.
The software will also be required to interface with an in-house data system for the purpose of import/export of staff identity profiles.
The number of staff should by no means infer that this is a standard SME set up as the Organisation has a wide variety of, sometimes complex, contractual terms & basis, payments, pensions, company pay and benefits criteria, which needs to be accommodated and calculated accurately and effectively for both monthly and annual returns.
Tenders must ensure they give a detailed response as to how they will provide the required services.
Bids will be assessed against the evaluation criteria outlined in this document. Upon completion of the scoring process, the bidders achieving the highest overall score will be shortlisted. These shortlisted bidders will then be invited to the final stage of the process, which will consist of a presentation/demonstration and further clarification.
Please refer to Annex 1 for a full and comprehensive breakdown of our requirements.

The proposed procurement will establish a single NEPO‑led Open Framework for the provision of Winter Bureau services, weather forecasting services, and RWIS outstation maintenance for UK local authorities.
The framework will replace the existing NEPO217 (Winter Bureau & Outstation Maintenance) and NEPO230 (Weather Forecasting Services) arrangements and will bring these services together into one solution reflecting how they are used operationally by authorities.
The scope is expected to include:
Winter Bureau services, including decision support, data management, system availability, resilience and user access to operational winter information.
Weather forecasting services, providing locally relevant and operationally defensible forecasts to support winter service decision‑making.
RWIS outstation maintenance, covering inspection, maintenance, repair, calibration and associated support for existing roadside infrastructure.
Optional or modular services, which may include enhanced data products, radar data, route‑based forecasting or analytical tools, where supported by market capability and authority demand.
The framework will be designed to support continuity of existing systems and infrastructure, recognising recent investment by authorities and avoiding mandated wholesale replacement of assets. Authorities will be able to access services through clearly defined call‑off mechanisms, including further competition where appropriate.
The Open Framework is expected to operate for up to eight years, with periodic reopening in line with the Procurement Act 2023 to allow for market refresh and potential new entrants.
NEPO is a Centralised Procurement Authority as defined in the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23), providing central purchasing activity on behalf of Contracting Authorities. All elements in this notice are subject to change at the sole discretion of NEPO. This notice is intended to inform the market of the potential scope of the procurement, not to be taken as the final agreed version.
