Bond International Software, the global provider of recruitment and human capital management software and services, today announces a partnership between its Bond Payroll Services division – a BACS-registered payroll outsourcing solution – and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), the umbrella body for the voluntary sector in England. The collaboration means Bond Payroll Services has been awarded a ‘preferred supplier’ status for payroll services, and all members of NCVO will also benefit from a 15% reduced rate.
Bond Payroll Services is a payroll outsourcing solution for organisations that do not want to or are unable to run their payroll internally. BACS-registered Bond Pay Bureau improves the productivity of businesses by eliminating time-consuming tasks. Using Bond's software, which is accredited by HM Revenue & Customs, Bond Payroll Services effectively becomes the organisation's payroll department, working to enhance professional skills and ensure a reliable and secure service.
Bond Payroll Services will be available to all NCVO members, current and new, as either a fully outsourced bureau solution, or as a partially outsourced solution, depending on the organisation’s individual requirements. NCVO will promote Bond Payroll Services via email newsletter to its membership, through its website and within its members’ publication Essential Resources.
NCVO is a national organisation that works with a wide range of voluntary organisations, offering a range of support services. Their membership base of nearly 8,000 members ranges from some of the country’s largest charities to much smaller voluntary organisations. Ric Moore, Head of HR at NCVO, comments, “We have a longstanding relationship with Bond Payroll Services as they are actually our outsourced partner for our own payroll. The payroll arrangements for charities can be somewhat more complicated than those for the corporate sector, but we have seen firsthand Bond Payroll Services’ ability to manage the nuances of this sector – as have their many other not-for-profit customers such as Age UK . We are therefore more than happy to promote their services in this way and are confident that they will add value to the effective running of our member organisations.”
Neil Lagden, Head of Bond Payroll Services at Bond International Software, adds, “In securing this partnership with the NCVO, we are taking a strategic approach to delivering to the voluntary sector. We have previous experience in this area, but with the potential to provide over 8000 voluntary organisations with our outsourced payroll solutions, this partnership deal has substantially strengthened our commitment to the sector.”
Chris Taylor, Business Development Manager at NCVO, concludes, “Bond Payroll Services is a highly cost-effective solution to payroll management, as we have seen within our own organisation, and given Bond’s expertise in HR and Payroll software and services, I am confident we will be looking to expand the number of Bond offerings we promote to our members.”
