Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about payroll services, payroll system, managed payroll, payroll software, payroll management, hr and payroll, payroll processing in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find payroll tenders in the UK?

    Search live notices on Stotles or move earlier and track the buyers who publish them. Payroll rarely competes on its own, so watching a school trust, council or NHS trust's wider HR and finance systems pipeline is often more useful than waiting for a standalone payroll competition.

  • What does payroll procurement usually cover?

    The notices on Stotles range from fully outsourced payroll bureau services to managed payroll running alongside an in-house HR team, through to combined HR and payroll software platforms covering pay, pensions and statutory reporting in one system. Schools and multi-academy trusts are especially frequent buyers.

  • What CPV codes are associated with payroll tenders?

    Payroll maps to CPV codes 79631000 (Personnel and payroll services), 79211110 (Payroll management services) and 48450000 (Time accounting or human resources software package) for the software side of the market.

  • Is payroll usually procured on its own or bundled with HR systems?

    Bundled, more often than not. The notices on Stotles are dominated by combined HR and payroll competitions, especially from schools and academy trusts replacing an ageing HR system. Standalone payroll bureau and managed payroll services still appear regularly, particularly where a buyer wants to keep payroll separate from its core HR platform.
