What is being bought

HBLB wishes to examine options available for the potential appointment of a single Service Provider to provide a managed HR Service for a multi-year period with a view to entering into any new Contract during the summer of 2026 to allow time for any transition of services should this be necessary. The primary purpose of the Service is to deliver HR transactional and advisory services that ensure legal compliance, operational efficiency, and strategic alignment with HBLB's objectives. The appointed provider will be responsible for delivering a full range of HR services, including but not limited to: • HR administration and employee record management • Recruitment, onboarding, and induction support • Employee relations and case management e.g. disciplinary matters • Policy review, development, and implementation • Employment law and compliance advice • Absence management and performance management support • HR systems support, reporting, and analytics • Ad hoc HR advisory services to senior management and line managers, including strategic advice to Board and senior managers. • Proactive support for staff learning and development • Periodic in person visits to HBLB office Optional services • Payroll coordination and benefits administration • Employee platform for submission of expenses claims and other requests

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Personnel and payroll services (79631000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 794,0663 median · 33.9 average (1,066 of 4,066 with a bid count)2.8 average (1,199 of 4,066 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC2611 median · 12.3 average (80 of 261 with a bid count)2.3 average (88 of 261 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
