HCC - 05/25 - The Provision of an Applicant Tracking System

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of an Applicant Tracking System The current contract for the provision of an Applicant Tracking System will expire in March 2026. The primary goal of this procurement is to secure a new contract that aligns with Hertfordshire County Council’s price and quality specifications. In November 2024, PPME was conducted under the PCR2015 ref: 2024/S 000-037432 and by consulting with the following groups: Suppliers registered with the Council’s e-tendering system completed a questionnaire. Other Local Authorities that utilise an Applicant Tracking System and Engagement with internal stakeholders who will be using the system The objectives of this engagement were to: Shape our requirements specification, Understand how the market has evolved and what new functionalities are available since the Council last tendered for this contract. Determine contract length and budgets that are suitable for both the Council and Suppliers, ensuring they align with our requirements. Assist with establishing timelines for the procurement process, including implementation and mobilisation period. Explore future innovations in the sector that could be incorporated into the contract during this term. Provide evidence to support our key requirement of making the system user-friendly and enabling the automation of processes to reduce manual administration. The findings from the PPME have been factored into the agreed tender process and supporting documentation. Since the Council published its PPME, the English Devolution white paper, was published in December 2024. It outlines the Central Government’s plan to reform local government. These changes are expected to occur during the tenure of this Contract, potentially altering the structure, shape and size of the organisation, though the specifics are currently unknown.

Any changes shall be subject to a Variation procedure and priced accordingly and must be in accordance with public procurement legislation and Council contracting regulations. The Contract has not been split into lots as the Council is purchasing one solution to be managed by one central team, the Applicant Tracking System purchased will fulfil all our requirements and it is not reasonably practicable for it to be supplied by more than one Supplier. The Council will procure this contract using the Competitive Flexible Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, which will allow us to run a multistage procurement process as explained above. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to ‘express an interest’ and also ‘opt in’ which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system.
