NOC is currently provided with a shared service for managing their Finance, Human Resources & Payroll via UK Shared Business Services (UK SBS) on an Oracle 12.1.3 platform. As part of the move to become an independent charity NOC is exiting service provision from UK SBS. NOC has a requirement to procure and implement a fully managed payroll service to replace the payroll service currently supplied by UK SBS.
