RFP Made Easy: Managed Payroll for Ireland’s Enterprises

Choosing a payroll provider isn’t just about price or promises. It’s about finding a partner who keeps your business compliant, scalable, and ready for what’s next. This RFP template helps you:

• Ask the right questions around compliance, governance, and service delivery
• Compare providers using consistent, transparent criteria
• Spot hidden costs, risks, or limitations early — before they lead to budget overruns, Revenue penalties, or payroll delays that affect employee trust
• Save time by filtering out unsuitable vendors before procurement begins

This template is designed for Irish organisations with complex payroll needs, including:

• HR and payroll leaders exploring outsourcing
• Finance and procurement teams seeking scalable, compliant solutions
• Mid-market and large enterprises moving from manual or legacy in-house payroll systems to a modern outsourced solution
• Businesses needing strict compliance with PAYE, PRSI, GDPR, and Revenue integration — where errors can lead to fines, audits, or reputational damage

This RFP template includes:

• A checklist for evaluating the full scope of managed payroll services — so you don’t overlook critical areas like PAYE and PRSI compliance, real-time Revenue reporting, or employee self-service portals
• Criteria for assessing service levels, support responsiveness, and accountability
• Costing and contract evaluation guidance to avoid hidden fees
• A ready-to-use scoring framework for comparing vendor responses objectively
