Notice Title

RBG Kew EAP and Health Cash Plan Early Market Engagement

Notice Description

Kew currently operates an Employee Assistance Programme for our workforce (headcount approx. 1400). We also have a company-paid health cash plan benefit in place for a small sub-set of employees (circa 177). Both contracts are due to end 31/07/2025. We are currently reviewing the provision with the intention of carrying out a procurement exercise later this year. As part of this we are exploring the feasibility of extending the company paid Health Cash Plan benefit to all employees (circa 1400) as part of our employee benefits and wellbeing offer (subject to affordability), with an integrated EAP as part of the offer. We welcome responses from all interested suppliers.
