Layer 3 · stakeholder-facing capability

ICCE Cubes

ICCE Cubes are the stakeholder-facing capability layer of the operating system. They combine the work of multiple Components into recognisable capabilities that workers, agencies, contractors, buyers and other authorised stakeholders can use without navigating the underlying architecture directly.

Capability catalogue

Eight recognisable capabilities. One connected transaction record.

Each Cube draws on several parts of the architecture. The cards below show the stakeholder outcome first, while the expandable detail explains the operating value and evidence position beneath it.

Available capability

Identity and participation

ICCE Onboarding

A controlled entry point that verifies participants, allocates role-appropriate access and gives the wider system a dependable participation boundary.

Capability detail

ICCE Onboarding brings together identity verification, organisational checks, compliance information, assurance evidence, role allocation and access activation within one structured process. Participants enter through defined validation pathways rather than informal registration or unverified account creation.

Each approved participant receives a unique ICCE platform identity that can be checked to confirm registration, applicable minimum checks and current active status. Access remains role-specific and can be restricted, suspended or removed where continuing requirements are no longer satisfied.

Why it matters

Trust should not begin with a logo, declaration or supplier assertion. It should begin with a system-verifiable participant identity and current access state.

Configurable route

Mapped supply environment

ICCE Frameworks

A permissioned contractor- or buyer-led environment that connects participating agencies, project attribution and supply-line activity within a governed operating scope.

Framework FX-104Supply-line view
Project ownerInfrastructure Programme North
Authorised agencies6 active participants
Supply lines14 mapped delivery routes
Engagement activity182 active records
Project attributionAgency participationSupply-line visibility
Capability detail

Where deployed, a contractor, buyer or Framework operator can establish a controlled, project-coded environment and invite authorised agencies to participate within it. Activity can be attributed to the relevant programme, works package, site, region, trade or supply line.

Used alongside ICCE Onboarding, Frameworks can support a broader pool of verified agencies without forcing contractors to reduce supplier choice merely to retain visibility. Agencies keep their own operating identities while participating within one governed environment.

  • participating agencies and permitted supply structure
  • projects, packages, sites and trades supported
  • engagements created through each line
  • employment and payroll routes used
  • evidence and outcomes generated
  • aggregated and agency-specific performance

Frameworks remain a configurable route and are not required for every ICCE engagement.

Why it matters

Contractors should not have to choose between supply flexibility and supply-chain control. Frameworks are intended to reduce that trade-off.

Employment capability

PAYE employment

ICCE Controlled Employment

Genuine PAYE employment for confirmed temporary and flexible work, connected directly to the operational, payroll and payment evidence produced by the system.

Capability detail

ICCE Controlled Employment is not a contractor-style contract-for-services substitute, pseudo-employment arrangement or open-ended zero-hours structure. ICCE acts as employer and creates a clear employment relationship connected to the work being undertaken.

  • clear PAYE employment status
  • transparent employment documentation
  • transparent pay calculation
  • holiday-pay rights and records
  • statutory sick pay where applicable
  • pension assessment and auto-enrolment where applicable
  • worker-facing payroll information
  • defined time and pay challenge routes
  • structured dispute and correction processes
  • access to grievance and employment procedures
Why it matters

Temporary workers should not have to trade flexibility for employment clarity, identifiable accountability or access to ordinary employment processes.

Operational capability

Multi-party control

ICCE Engagement Controls

A structured operating process through which engagement information is created, confirmed, progressed and preserved as a corroborated operational record.

Worker information acknowledgedWorker ID W-48201
Work information confirmedEngager representative
Controlled record completedSystem-issued outcome
Multi-party activitySystem validationOperational evidence
Capability detail

Engagement Controls coordinate worker, agency, engager and authorised participant interactions. Information submitted by one party can be reviewed, acknowledged or confirmed by another while the system applies defined permission, validation and progression rules.

  • engagement setup
  • participant and organisational attribution
  • work and assignment information
  • worker and engager interactions
  • time-related activity
  • disputes and corrections
  • cancellation and completion
  • associated event and evidence history
Why it matters

An engagement record is more dependable when it combines attributable multi-party input with system-enforced processing rather than relying on a single declaration.

Payroll capability

Integrated PAYE processing

ICCE Integrated Payroll

Verified engagement and time information converted into reproducible PAYE payroll, statutory outcomes and HMRC-aligned reporting records.

Payroll batch PR-0626Final calculation
Gross pay£94,280
Tax / NIC£22,614
Net pay£71,666
RTI statusReady
Deterministic payrollPAYE and NICRTI support
Capability detail

ICCE Integrated Payroll receives verified engagement and time information and applies deterministic processing to calculate gross pay, net pay, tax, National Insurance, pensions, other applicable deductions and employer liabilities.

It also supports HMRC-aligned RTI processing, including FPS and EPS outputs and the maintenance of year-to-date payroll information through the governed payroll architecture.

Why it matters

Payroll should not be disconnected from the activity that created the obligation. The payroll record should remain attributable to the controlled operational evidence that preceded it.

Payment capability

Controlled execution

ICCE Trusted Payments

Verified payroll outcomes connected to a controlled, tracked and reconciled payment environment through the Payment Trust Centre.

Controlled paymentSegregated wage fundsReconciliation
Capability detail

Delivered through the Payment Trust Centre, Trusted Payments prepares, tracks and reconciles payroll-related payments from structured system outputs. It preserves a clear evidence relationship between the amount calculated, the payment instructed and the returned payment status.

The arrangement is designed so that worker wage funds remain separated from ICCE operating funds. ICCE governs the instructions and evidence around payment without unrestricted discretionary control over worker wages.

Why it matters

A payroll calculation does not by itself prove that the worker was paid correctly. Trusted Payments extends the evidence chain into execution.

Evidence capability

Connected transaction record

ICCE Transaction Evidence

A progressive, permissioned record connecting participant identity, employment, engagement activity, payroll, statutory treatment, payment outcomes and attributable system events.

Attributable historyShared source of truthAudit ready
Capability detail

Transaction Evidence is formed progressively as activity is processed. It is not created later by assembling unrelated files or asking participants to reconstruct what happened.

  • who participated and under what active status
  • which PAYE employment route was used
  • what engagement and time information was confirmed
  • how payroll was calculated
  • how statutory obligations were treated
  • what payment activity followed
  • which project, Framework or supply line the activity related to
  • which parties were accountable at each stage

The result is intended to be a shared, permissioned source of transaction truth. Different authorised users may receive different views, but those views originate from the same controlled activity.

Why it matters

ICCE does not merely collect labour-market data. It creates a controlled transactional record that authorised market participants can rely upon.

Intelligence capability

Permissioned reporting

ICCE Reporting and Intelligence

Controlled transaction evidence translated into transaction-level views, aggregated reporting and stakeholder-specific dashboards without creating competing versions of the truth.

Role-based viewsProject reportingDecision-ready insight
Capability detail

Reporting and Intelligence receives the operational evidence produced through Engagement Controls and the financial and statutory evidence produced through Integrated Payroll. It presents those connected records through transaction-level views, aggregated reports and permissioned dashboards.

  • operational and engagement reporting
  • PAYE employment-status evidence
  • payroll, statutory and payment reporting
  • fair-work and worker-treatment evidence
  • responsible-procurement reporting
  • social value and ESG-related evidence
  • project and supply-line visibility
  • exception and discrepancy reporting
  • compliance and audit records
  • aggregated analysis across authorised populations
Why it matters

Different stakeholders need different views, but they should not need different versions of the truth.

Capability layer

The infrastructure becomes usable through the Cubes.

ICCE Cubes are the stakeholder-facing expression of the operating system. They make complex employment, payroll, payment and evidence infrastructure legible and usable while remaining connected to the same controlled Mechanics, Component responsibilities and transaction record underneath.
