VI.3)Additional information
The existing HR/Payroll System is managed in-house however we will consider both in-house and externally hosted ICT systems.
The implementation will comprise two distinct phases. The first phase will be to replace the core HR (including self-service), absence management and payroll functionality. The second phase will consider wider functionality – recruitment, performance management and benefits administration – where there are demonstrable business benefits, value for money and budget availability. Optional pricing is also sought for an integrated training/development module and time management.
As at March 2014, there are 25 HR users, 6 Payroll users and approximately 300 managers. The HR/Payroll System is used for 5 000 active Council and school employees with an estimated growth up to 6 000 active employees. There are approximately 6 000 inactive employees.
The above estimate includes the provision of services to Academies and maintained and Free Schools within the Borough, however during the contract term the Council may wish to provide services to other public bodies within the United Kingdom. Optional pricing is being sought for additional licences should this occur.
The Council requires a product needing no bespoke software development; however modifications such as adding logos, organisation charts, reports and calculations (e.g. the buying and selling of leave) should all be possible within the existing functionality of the software.
The contract duration will be for a maximum of 10 years, covering an initial period of 4 years plus 2 optional extensions, each of 3 years (i.e. 4 + 3 + 3).
