Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

HR Connect entered into a contractual relationship with HubSpot for a two-year period in September 2023, which expire in September 2025.

The current system is continuing to be embedded within the business and currently meets the needs of the business.

Due to the expiry of the minimum contract term, quotes were sought from a number of suppliers.

Two delivered quotations for services, however a third quote was not received.

This will be remediated by starting a process in January 2026 to compliantly secure a provider from September 2026 at the end of the proposed HubSpot contract.

The extension is for 12 months, September 2025 to August 2026. A compliant tender process will be conducted in advance of the expiry of the contract in

August 2026.
