The brief

This preliminary market engagement process precedes the retender of the HR, Payroll and Employee Screening Services which went live in 2022.

This process will allow CPC to consider the changes enacted under the Procurement Act 2023 and how we may use that legislation to design a route to market which is modern and market relevant.

A suggested Lot structure have been included within this notice but will be determined through this preliminary market engagement process.

Framework length and dates have also not been decided upon at this time.

Please see the attached document "Preliminary Market Engagement HR, Payroll and DBS Screening Services" for more information.
