We are excited to announce the new HR, Payroll and Employee Screening framework went live on 21st November and members can now access it. 

Previously, there were two separate frameworks to cover these services. Following a detailed pre-market engagement exercise, it became apparent that the close nature of these services should be combined into one framework solution.

Therefore, the new framework has the following lot structure:

Lot 1 - Not Awarded

Lot 2 - Human Resource Services

This lot provides the following services: Specialist Recruitment/e-Recruitment Services, HR Consultancy, Managed Services, Training, Business and Administration Support Services, Transformational Services, Leadership and Management Support Services and Employee Support Services.

Lot 3 - Payroll Services

Includes: Data Input, Processing of Payroll, Setting Up and Processing of Pensions, Tax NI and Related Services, Holiday Calculations, Sickness Paternity and Maternity Calculations, Processing of Expenses and Benefit, Processing of Third Party Payments and Pensions, Payment of Salaries, Production of Payslips, Application of Legislative Updates, Provision of Management Information, Production of HMRC Documentation, Payroll Query Help Line and Employee Help Line. All these services can be delivered either as a Bureau, Part Managed or Managed Service.

Lot 4 - Employee Screening Services Solutions

Included within this lot are: All DBS checks, Verification Service Checks, Credit Checks, Right to work checks, Identity Verification, Passport Validation, DVLA/Driving Licence checks, Directorship checks, Media/Social Media checks, International Fraud/Sanction checks, BS7858 Checks and The Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) Check. This lot also allows for the provision of digital identity verification checks.

Lot 5 - DBS and Criminal Record Checks

This allows framework users to access all DBS checks including: Basic, Standard and Enhanced checks or equivalents.

Support with using the framework is available via Dukefield Procurement, who are the contract managers.
