## Description
The contracting authority is seeking to procure a payroll software solution and associated managed BACS service to support the in-house delivery of payroll across a multi-academy trust.
The requirement includes the provision, implementation, configuration, support and maintenance of a payroll system suitable for a multi-site education environment.

The requirement also includes a managed BACS service for payroll-related payments, together with appropriate controls, reporting, support and service continuity arrangements.
The supplier will be required to support implementation, data migration, testing, parallel running, go-live and post-go-live transition support. The Trust will retain responsibility for operating an in-house payroll function.
The contract is intended to cover the contracting authority's current payroll requirements and reasonably anticipated future requirements, including potential growth in employee numbers or sites during the contract term.
