Notice Title

National Framework Agreement for Salary Sacrifice (Personal & Home Technology) Schemes

Notice Description

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement service seeks to establish a framework agreement with two Lots, each Lot having a single supplier, to deliver Optional Remuneration Arrangement (OPRA) benefit schemes that will provide a range of personal and home technology employee benefits in two different ways to suit the needs of Participating Organisations. Lot 1 Promotional Windows Based Salary Sacrifice Schemes Participating Organisations may choose to open multiple windows for salary sacrifice schemes in each year that the framework agreement operates. Promotional windows may be seasonally-based (e.g. Easter, summer holidays, back to school, Christmas) and/or based around particular events, such as major sporting championships. This Lot is designed for Participating Organisations who prefer to concentrate their salary sacrifice schemes around specific events or specific times of the year. Lot 2 Always Open Salary Sacrifice Scheme The salary sacrifice scheme is permanently available to employees of a Participating Organisation. This allows employees to take advantage of the scheme at a time which suits them. Additional information: A selection of the ITT documents has been attached for information only. The complete ITT can be accessed at NHS Sourcing (link above). Tenders will only be considered if they are submitted through the NHS Sourcing portal.
