ACE - Provision of Integrated HR & Payroll System

  • Academies for Character & Excellence

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-060bed

Description

Trust requires a fully integrated HR and Payroll platform operating from a single, authoritative dataset. The solution must enable compliant payroll and workforce administration in accordance with relevant legislation, HMRC requirements, Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) and Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) regulations, statutory employment obligations, and sector best practice. It must also provide the transparency, reporting capability, and internal controls necessary to support efficient Trust-wide operations. The Trust is seeking a platform that provides operational flexibility, allowing payroll processing to be delivered either in-house or via a managed service within the same system environment. The Trust may transition between these delivery models during the contract term and therefore requires a solution that enables this without system replacement or material disruption.
