MHR has been awarded a single supplier framework contract to Supply of HR and Payroll Solutions to Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).

It was looking to create a single supplier framework agreement accessible to all GMCA authorities and associate partners, for the procurement of a HR and payroll solution. MHR, the incumbent HR software supplier to GMCA and several of its council members, has now been awarded the four-year contract which will place it in a prime position to expand its footprint across the region.

The deal is estimated to be worth up to £31m, but that is based on the assumption that all GMCA authorities and its partners use the framework. Although there is no guaranteed level of business under the agreement, the contract notice states there are two call offs ready to access the framework once awarded.
