Prior Information Notice (PIN) for HR & Payroll System for Housing Association
Title: BAF 25005 - Procurement of an Integrated HR & Payroll system for a housing association/registered social landlord.
Organisation: Bron Afon Community Housing
Publication Date: 13/03/2025
1. Introduction
Bron Afon, which is a social housing association, is seeking to procure a new HR & Payroll system to replace our existing solution. This new system will provide like-for-like functionality while introducing improvements to enhance efficiency, user experience, and compliance.
2. Scope of the Requirement
The new system must offer the following functionalities:
Core HR functions (employee records, absence management, recruitment, etc.).
Payroll processing, including compliance with UK payroll regulations, flexible to allow alignment to internal policies, ability to provide a variety of payment types
Data Security and Compliance: Adherence to data protection regulations and high standards of security.
User-Friendly Interface: The system should have an intuitive interface accessible to various user levels across the organisation.
Scalability and Flexibility: Capability to grow with the organisation’s needs and accommodate future system integrations if required.
Self-service functionality for employees and managers.
Integration with existing finance and reporting systems.
Improved automation and reporting capabilities.
All systems will be assessed against a more in-depth set of requirements and standards following shortlisting for demos.
System needs to be integrated and allow workflows across business and remove the need for duplicate entry of data
Ability to roll back a payroll period whereby errors are identified
Ability to integrated with direct workforce applications such as Total mobile to allow us to capture out of hours work electronically
Ability to data load pay increases at scale
Report function
Salary forecasting tool
4.      Current System
Bron Afon Community Housing currently uses an on-premise Civica HR & Payroll system. This software is reaching its end of life and needs to be imminently replaced.
5.   Indicative Timeline
The main procurement constraint that we have is due to the HRP Windows software reaching end of life in March 2026. This means that the intention would be to procure and implement the new HR & Payroll system by December 2025, in time for us to do a parallel run of both old and new systems to ensure successful payroll before Year End period 25/26. We would therefore appreciate supplier information on timescales for implementation of their system and how achievable our indicative timeline is and any other constraints we need to consider with this timeline.
PIN Publication Date: 13/03/2025
PIN Duration: 3 Weeks
5. Supplier Engagement
Bron Afon invites suppliers with experience in delivering integrated HR & Payroll systems for housing associations or similar sectors to register their interest. Pre-tender market engagement activities will include supplier workshops and demos/consultations to gather insights on current solutions and best practices.

title: Positive peer-cultures in Primary Schools: children’s views and experiences research

currency: GBP

description:
Welsh Government require the services of an appropriate supplier / organisation to conduct research to investigate Positive peer-cultures in Primary Schools to understand children’s views and experiences. The successful Bidder will be awarded a 12-month contract valued at approximately £60,000 exc. VAT and full details will be included in the tender documentation which will follow in Spring 2025.
The proposed project will use creative and participatory methods to generate qualitative data on how diverse groups of primary school-aged children  understand how gender and sexual power relations shape their everyday peer cultures in school, in their community and online.
The project needs to address the lack of knowledge about children’s experiences of gender-based and sexual bullying and harassment in the context of their everyday lives and enable the children’s own views and experiences to inform and shape future research, policies and practice.
The core aim of the research contract is to explore address the lack of knowledge  primary age children’s experiences of gender-based and sexual bullying and harassment in the context of their everyday lives. These findings will inform practitioners and policy makers to fully support children’s own understanding and experiences of why they feel the way they do, what it means for the way they act, and how things can change.  The project will fulfil the Welsh Government’s commitment in the ‘Peer-on-peer sexual harassment in education settings’ - https://www.gov.wales/peer-peer-sexual-harassment-education-settings-action-plan
Action plan - We will consider what research is needed to understand instances of peer-on-peer sexual harassment among primary school-aged children, drawing on the expertise and guidance of academics, children’s charities and the Children’s Commissioner for Wales as appropriate.
The successful bidder will collect the views of primary-aged children across north, south, and mid-Wales. The sample will ensure the inclusion of children from a diverse mix of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, covering urban, suburban, and semi-rural areas, and economically prosperous and disadvantaged communities.
It is anticipated that the project will involve at least six primary schools, with a minimum of one Welsh-medium school. Approximately 100 children, aged 9–11, will take part in the study.
Full details of the contract requirement and outputs will be provided in the tender documentation, but we anticipate the successful Bidder will deliver various research methods including conducting sensitive interviews and groups, as well as using creative and participatory methods. The outputs will include a research report and an executive summary. We would also like to encourage bidders to provide outputs including research infographics, a short film communicating key findings, case studies and activities for schools.
At this stage we are only seeking interest from suppliers with the appropriate skills, expertise, capability and security checks to deliver the contract so please only register interest if you can explore the ethical challenges of undertaking research in an education setting with children and young people on sensitive issues. If you meet the criteria outlined, then please register your interest via this sell2wales notice by the 27th March 2025.

Turnkey solution for the design, certification, supply, and installation of Single Variable Rate Sanding (SVRS) for ScotRail’s Class 158 Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).
ScotRail requires an SVRS system that has previously received technical approval (i.e., ROSCO approval and full certification through the engineering change process).
The SVRS systems must be capable of providing proven improvements in braking performance under low-adhesion conditions for the Class 158 DMU fleet. This must be evidenced by industry performance data demonstrating these improvements specifically for the Class 158 DMUs.
ScotRail aims to commence fitment in Autumn 2025 to benefit from the system’s benefits as soon as possible.
ScotRail intends to use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition to contract with Siemens Mobility Limited. This approach is considered the only viable option, as Siemens Mobility is the only supplier who can provide a technically proven solution with demonstrated performance benefits on an in-service fleet and the capability to meet the challenging project timeline.

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
The purpose of this VEAT notice is to inform the market of the Contracting Authorities intention to extend the contract period for an additional four months. The modification is covered under Reg 72 (1) (e) and (f) therefore the EA is not obliged to publish a modification notice.
The modification meets the following conditions in relation to paragraph 5:
(5) (a) the relevant threshold mentioned in regulation 5; and
      (b) 10 % of the initial contract value for service and supply contracts and 15% of the initial contract value for works contracts
The modification to the period is for 4 months which represents less than 10% of the overall period of 48 months and is therefore deemed to be non-substantial as it does not meet any of the conditions of paragraph 8 detailed below.
(8) A modification of a contract or a framework agreement during its term shall be considered substantial for the purposes of paragraph 1(e) where one or more of the following conditions is met:
(a) the modification renders the contract or the framework agreement materially different in character from the one initially concluded;
(b) the modification introduces conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure, would have—
(i) allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected;
(ii) allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted; or
(iii) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure;
(c) the modification changes the economic balance of the contract or the framework agreement in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the initial contract or framework agreement;
(d) the modification extends the scope of the contract or framework agreement considerably;
(e) a new contractor replaces the one to which the contracting authority had initially awarded the contract in cases other than those provided for in paragraph (1)(d).

The existing Long Term Service Agreement under which these services are provided will expire on 31 March 2025. Defra as the commercial lead, sought a replacement commercial arrangement to provide critical scientific evidence and contingency services to support its policy making and operational responsibilities including emergency response capabilities in relation to the food and the environment. The overarching contract is also used by other Government Departments, including Food Standards Agency. This contract specifically covers FSA and Defra's food contingency requirements. The supplier has the ability to deliver reliable, high quality scientific services competitively; well-proven transition and transformational capabilities within challenging timeframes; and possesses a vision and commitment to enhance relevant scientific capability into the future.  The seamless continuation of services is essential to maintain the governments food incident response capability.
The contract is awarded for an initial five years and has an option to extend for an additional five years (+2+1+1+1).

title: Specialist Science and Contingency Services - Food Contingency Laboratory

description: This notice is for information only and is not a call for competition. FSA would like to notify the intention to directly award a service contract for Food Contingency Laboratory Services as part of the Specialist Science and Contingency Services Agreement tendered by Defra. We have identified no alternative provider following extensive market engagement who have the capability and capacity to deliver the service.

description: Research and development services and related consultancy services

procurementMethodRationale:
Detra intends to direct award a contract using the negotiated procedure without prior publication, in accordance with Regulation 32(2){b){ii) (competition absent for technical reasons) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The current contract will expire on 31 March 2025 and this contract must be made to ensure critical statutory specialist science and contingency services continue to be provided. This contract will be awarded to Fera Science Limited for the provision of specialist science and contingency services.
To inform its decision-making, Detra has undertaken three rounds of market engagement with interested suppliers. Before each round, it has published a prior information notice (PIN), ensuring that all interested suppliers are aware of the re-procurement and have had the opportunity to express interest and provide evidence of their capacity and capabilities to perform all or part of the services. Three elements of the specification were identified:
(a) those aspects where there is no competition, eg, those parts of the specification that relate to the required specialist facilities for this contract;
{b) those parts where there may be genuine competition.
(c) those parts where competitors have expressed an interest in supplying all or part of the requirement, but have not provided sufficient information when requested to establish that they have, or could develop in the time available, the necessary capacity or capability.
In relation to {b) there are some services for Government Departments, FSA, HSE, Welsh Government and DAERA where reasonable alternatives in the market were identified, as such, those services have been disaggregated and those respective Departments will identify a route to market outside of this contract. Some research and development requirements that are not related to (a), will be procured through Detra's existing RDE Framework or such other route to market. As such these services no longer form part of the specification for this contract.
In relation to (a) and (c), the market engagement has identified that currently there is no candidate who is able to deliver the requirements of the specification and competition is absent for technical reasons.
As such this contract will be awarded by direct award in accordance with Regulation 32(2){b)(ii).

description: The purpose of this VEAT notice is to inform and give prior notice to the market that The Education Authority intends to modify this contract in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to (i) extend the contract for an additional 2 years until 31/03/2027 with a further 2 x 1 year additional extension options, and (ii) increase the value by up to £175,000,000. Regulation 72 (1) (c) also permits this modification due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent authority could not have foreseen. The overall nature of the contract is not altered and the modification value does not exceed 50% of the original contract value.

description: Software implementation services

procurementMethodRationale:
The contract commenced on 01/04/2012 for 5 years until 31/03/2017 and has been modified on several occasions as per the following VEATs - 2019/S 046-106361, 2022/S 000-006649 and 2024/S 000-006005.
The contract is currently extended until 31/03/25. The transition to a new managed service contract was expected to have completed by 31/03/25 but due to unforeseen circumstances the new contract awarded in December 2023 was terminated in November 2024 by mutual consent. Accordingly it is necessary to extend the contract and increase the contract value to ensure the continuation of existing managed service arrangements and functionality changes to meet schools’ requirements whilst permitting time to transition to a new managed service contract.
The modification is permitted under Regulations 72(1)(b) and 72(1)(c). The modification is not a direct award under Regulation 32.
Regulation 72(1)(b) permits a contract modification for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor - (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; or (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
This modification is permitted under Regulation 72(1)(b) because the systems and services provided under the contract have been uniquely configured to reflect the EA’s varying requirements. For technical reasons, it is not possible to quickly or easily transition the services provided under the contract to a new managed service contract with another contractor as they would need significant time to work with the EA to tailor their systems and services to meet the EA’s specific requirements. It would also cause significant inconvenience and a duplication of costs to change contractor for an interim period whilst a new procurement is undertaken. It is expected to take at least 18-24 months to procure and transition to a suitable new contract. The additional 2 x 1 year extension options to be included in the modification are for contingency purposes, to allow time for any risk of material delays, transitioning the existing services and subsequent design and implementation phases of a new contract.
Regulation 72(1)(b) is also met on the grounds that as the original contract value was £350,000,000, the increase in value due to this modification does not exceed 50% of the original contract value.
Regulation 72(1)(c) also permits this modification due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. Particularly, it could not have been foreseen that the new contract awarded in December 2023 would be terminated, thus delaying the transition to a new managed service contract. Also, the modification will not alter the overall nature of the contract as the scope of services will remain unaltered and any expenditure will not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.

description: The Authority intends on placing a contract with 2 guaranteed years and 3 x 1-year options. The first 2 core years and the potential 3 x 1-year options will be priced and then subject when appropriate to VOP. The contract value included in this advert is a ROM cost if all 3 yearly options are taken up by the Authority. The Authority withholds the right not to take up any of these options.

description: The Training Simulation Systems Programme within Defence Equipment and Support, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), intends to place with Cubic Defence U.K (CDUK) a 2-year contract with up to an additional 3 x 1-year option years for the provision of Contractor Logistic Support, Support Repair and Post Design Services for the MoD owned Area Weapons Effect Simulator (ILT-A). ILT-A enables the simulation of area effects such as fire missions, danger areas like minefields, and permits the tracking and monitoring of participants (players) while dismounted, in vehicles and structures. The system provides man worn and vehicle instrumentation and an engagement capability for lighter weapons, as part of collective training. It simulates and records the effects of weapon engagements and enables realistic and challenging training. The contract will also allow for further developed instrumentation for Combined Arms Live Fire Exercises (CALFEX) along with potential for future Vehicle Integration. There is also a possibility of expansion of the systems into currently undefined training areas globally.

description: Repair and maintenance services of military electronic systems

procurementMethodRationale:
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.  It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for Technical Reasons.
Cubic Defence U.K (CDUK) are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Design Authority (DA) for the ILT-A. They are the only supplier who has access to the necessary technical data, source code and design drawings to be able to provide the support and upgrade services required. Further, only CDUK have the specific skills, know-how and experience to provide Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) for the maintenance and repair of existing equipment and managed services, and Post Design Services (PDS) for modifications and design alterations/enhancements to the existing equipment which they have built up over a number of years as the OEM, support and upgrade provider and DA for ILT-A. Performance of the intended contract also requires access to ITAR controlled information and CDUK is the only entity authorised to receive this information. In addition, ILT-A is required to integrate with the MoD’s Direct Fire Weapons Effect Simulator (ILT-D) capability, to provide the MoD with a Tactical Effect Simulator (TES) capability — a fully integrated combat training system. If another supplier was to attempt to provide the support and upgrade services required for ILT-A then this would also risk significant technical inter-operability issues with ILT-D/TES.

The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason:
The framework has been divided into lots to support SMEs to gain access to opportunities through the flexible framework. The nature of the services delivered are unlikely to be delivered through sub-contractors and therefore a sub-contract clause is not suitable for this type of services framework.
The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason:
The Flexible Framework does not provide a guarantee of work, therefore community benefits are not being made mandatory within the tender.
