What is being bought

Published requirement description

Salterns Academy Trust exists to serve the community of Portsmouth. We currently run two successful and fast-growing secondary schools in the city, providing opportunities for over 2100 young people to be the very best that they can be. The Trust is undertaking a programme of growth and will be onboarding a third, all through school, into the Trust during the autumn of 2024. This will increase our student numbers to 3,500 and our staffing numbers to around 500.

We are looking to increase efficiency and effectiveness of our HR team through the standardisation of HR processes across the Trust. We are looking to procure a HR system that will integrate with our existing finance and payment systems and streamline the onboarding of further schools in the future.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
