Payroll Software and Associated Support Solution

The issuing agency is seeking a vendor to provide a payroll software and associated support solution. The agency needs to solve the problem of manual administrative burdens by automating payroll processes and ensuring strict compliance with public-sector standards. The scope of work covers core payroll processing, statutory compliance, automation and workflow, audit and governance controls, systems integration, and employee and manager self-service. The software must accurately calculate salaries, allowances, overtime, deductions, arrears, backdated pay, and statutory entitlements, with full support for Irish public-sector pay structures and pension schemes. It must also automatically apply PAYE, USC, PRSI, Enhanced Reporting Requirements, pension auto-enrolment, and all Revenue reporting obligations, including real-time submissions. To reduce manual intervention, the solution must feature automated validations, scheduled tasks, approval workflows, exception handling, and seamless integration with HR, pensions administration, time and attendance, and finance platforms. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in Ireland only. The performance of the requested work will take place offsite. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and no specific evaluation criteria or key dates are provided in the source.
