Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service is conducting a tender titled "Voucher Schemes" aimed at providing agreements for the utilisation of voucher schemes by Central Government and UK public sector bodies. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage and is classified under services, specifically in the administration, defence, and social security services industry category (CPV code: 75000000). The total estimated value of the framework agreement is £1.5 billion, set to commence on 7 April 2021 and potentially extending until 7 April 2025, with a tender period that concluded on 22 March 2021.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage in government contracts, particularly those adept at providing fully managed voucher schemes, including design, implementation, and administration. Businesses that specialise in digital services, customer engagement platforms, or social support initiatives would be well-positioned to compete, as the framework encourages broad participation to enhance competition and operational efficiency across public sector bodies.
