The framework agreement allows for both further competition and direct award to all awarded suppliers.
The framework for the provision of payroll services has the following expected business benefits:
Financial Benefits
The Framework has established ceiling prices that a supplier may not exceed when delivering services to any participating authority. As much of the procurement work has already been done, NHS and wider public sector contracting authorities are able to save on time and costs associated with running a full procurement.
Rates
Suppliers have rate cards that provide a set of ceiling prices for the service available, which means organisations can have confidence regarding the maximum price they will pay for a service. This information can also be used to benchmark existing service provision and to enhance value for money. Contracting authorities may also consider how they work together with other organisations in order to realise volume-based pricing.
Other Benefits
The Framework should reduce the administrative burden and reduce duplication of effort as standard service specifications and performance indicators have already been established. The Framework ensures all the providers have achieved a minimum standard in terms of competence and financial viability
The breadth of services and the flexibility built into the framework enables contracting authorities to think more pro-actively about how they might outsource some of their back-office processes.
