    Brief

    Bristol City Council is conducting a soft market test to gather information about available HR and Payroll solutions in the market. This exploratory exercise aims to understand the range of systems, capabilities, and vendors that could support the Council's HR and Payroll requirements. The soft market test is not a formal tender but an information-gathering phase to inform future procurement decisions. Suppliers are invited to provide details about their solutions, including functionality, implementation approach, support services, and pricing models. This feedback will help Bristol City Council identify suitable options and develop a specification for potential future procurement activities.
