- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
The longer-term plan is to have a system wide payroll provider to enable greater efficiencies to be achieved. Other system partners payroll contracts expire 31st March 2026, and it makes business sense for the ICB to continue with the current payroll contract until 31st March 2026 to enable a joint procurement exercise to be undertaken during 2025
