Our Response:

Which HR and performance management system do you use, contract period and contract value / if sass or on-prem?

The HR system is on-prem. We have 20 HR user licences and 1000 self-service licences. PDR Pro is the performance management system, we have 950 licences. Contract period is 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2025 with an option to extend for a further 2 years. Contract value is £30k p.a (this information should be publicly available but doesn’t appear to be, I have raised the issue with In-Tend). There are no plans to go to market for a new system at present.

Which Finance system (or Enterprise Resource Management) do you use, contract period and contract value / if sass or on prem?

Agresso is on prem, we don’t have a number for users but we have just awarded a Contract to Technology One for a new Finance system which is in the process of being set up.

Which Payroll software do you use, contract period and contract value / outsourced, sass or on-prem?

Payroll is outsourced to Access UK Ltd. We do not have access to their software so we do not hold any licences for this. There are no plans to go to market for a new system at present.

Contract period and value is publicly available on the following public contract database, you can view by clicking the following link:
