This contract is classified under the CPV code 75310000, and falls into the services category. The procurement was carried out using a selective method, specifically a call-off from the CCS Employee Benefits and Services Framework Agreement (RM6273), Lot 1: Managed Service. The contract was awarded to Reward Gateway (UK) Limited on 10 June 2026, with the contract period starting from 1 June 2026 and ending on 31 May 2027.

This procurement represents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in providing benefit services, particularly those capable of managing employee benefits platforms and working within framework agreements. Although this particular procurement was awarded through a direct award protocol, businesses that offer similar services might consider participating in future competitive tenders as they arise. Companies that specialise in managed service solutions for employee benefits, including childcare vouchers, cycle to work schemes, and payroll charity giving, would stand to benefit from exploring similar opportunities with public sector organisations like the CQC.
