The framework used was the Digital Services SBS/19/AB/WAB/9411\nThere were 28 potential system providers available via the Consortium, and these providers were invited to submit tenders. In addition, they were contacted to ascertain whether they could provide a demonstration on a specified date and whether they were able to provide a specific system for a HR and Payroll integrated information system.\nIt was made clear that if they did intend to tender, they needed to confirm this and that they would not be sent out the next stage of the tender process, which was a Capability Assessment. This was timetabled to be sent after the demonstrations, and it was made clear that this would form part of any audit trail.\nFrom the 28 providers who were invited to tender listed on the framework, only three responded to say they were not interested. 24 did not respond and only one (Softcat) responded to say that they would be tendering and that this would be in partnership with Midland HR. For their  ITrent and People First HR System.\nAs there was only one response, it was agreed to make a  direct award, as there was no further competition.",
