Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council has completed a public procurement process for providing salary sacrifice services under the title "Salary Sacrifice Services". The procurement, categorised within insurance and pension services, utilised a direct award method, specifically through the Portsmouth City Council framework. The contract, valued at £100,000, is aimed to enhance non-cash employee benefits. It is set to operate from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2026, primarily serving the South West region of the United Kingdom. This award stage was published on 22nd December 2025.

The contract offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies experienced in providing non-cash employee benefits via salary sacrifice schemes. Although the tender was awarded directly, organisations similar to AVC Wise Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, might benefit from showcasing their expertise to become future partners or subcontractors. Businesses offering specialised services in the insurance and pension sectors within the UK, particularly those not constrained by the SME suitability criterion, could find such government frameworks a fruitful avenue for expansion.
