Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Childcare and Leisure Discount Vouchers has been completed by Hampshire County Council (HCC), with the awarded contract going to SME HCI trading as VivUp. This contract, part of the ESPO 319_23 Staff Benefits Framework, aims to provide HCC staff with access to childcare vouchers for registered childcare services across the UK, and discount vouchers for high street stores and supermarkets. The industry category for this tender is Child Daycare Services, with the contract set to start on 1 April 2025 and end on 31 March 2026. Hampshire County Council is located in Winchester, England (postcode SO23 8UJ), and the procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses providing childcare services and discount schemes, particularly those adept in large-scale service delivery and management.

Additionally, businesses capable of managing lifestyle savings programmes for retail discounts could leverage this tender to expand their operations and partnerships with public sector organisations. The focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) makes this an attractive opportunity for smaller companies looking to compete in the public sector.
