Overview
The Gambling Commission, an Arm’s-Length Body with approximately 400 employees, is commencing early market engagement to inform the potential procurement of an integrated HR, Learning Management System, Payroll, Finance and Commercial system. Our organisation operates in a regulated public sector environment and requires systems that support accurate statutory compliance, strong governance, and efficient end-to-end processes across the employee and financial lifecycle.
We are particularly interested in solutions already proven within the UK public sector. This expression of interest is issued solely for market engagement purposes.
This is not a call for competition. The purpose is to: - understand the maturity, capability and market availability of systems suitable for small to mid-sized public bodies - assess whether a single integrated platform or a modular “best-of-breed” approach is more suitable - identify functional, technical and commercial considerations that should shape a future procurement - explore implementation options and indicative cost models Suppliers with relevant HR, payroll, learning management, finance and/or commercial/procurement systems are invited to participate.
