Description

This Framework will provide Members with access to a comprehensive range of Human Resources (HR), Payroll and Employee Screening services. Suppliers will have the opportunity to offer the full range of services encompassed within the broad scope and definitions of each Lot, enabling Members to access a flexible and comprehensive service offering through a single Framework. The Framework has been designed to operate as a 'one-stop shop' for Members' Human Resources, Payroll and Employee Screening requirements, providing a streamlined route to market for a wide range of services. It is intended to support Members throughout the full employee lifecycle, from initial Employee Screening and Recruitment, through to the ongoing management of Human Resources, Payroll and Pension Schemes. By bringing these services together within a single Framework, Members will be able to access specialist expertise and a broad range of service solutions while retaining the flexibility to select the services that best meet their individual organisational requirements. The Framework will therefore support Members in managing both their day-to-day operational needs and wider strategic workforce requirements, helping to promote efficiency, consistency, compliance and value for money. The Framework will cover the key stages of the employee journey, including pre-employment screening and recruitment, HR administration and advisory services, payroll processing and associated services, and pension-related requirements. This comprehensive approach is intended to provide Members with a flexible and scalable solution that can evolve in line with changes to their workforce, organisational priorities, legislation and service requirements.
