Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator procured employee benefits services for its workforce in the South East of England. The requirement covers access to childcare vouchers, a ride-to-work scheme, small thank-you vouchers, Gymflex and shopping discounts. It also includes a self-service portal through which employees can access discounts on everyday spending and explore and enrol in voluntary benefits. This is a services contract in the employee benefits sector, classified under CPV 75310000. The buyer is The Pensions Regulator, based in Brighton. The scope therefore combines the provision and administration of multiple employee benefit schemes with a digital employee-facing service for accessing and managing those benefits.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 24 July 2026 to Reward Gateway Ltd, at a value of £90,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The completed procurement has one active award and the tender status is complete. The recorded evaluation basis is the selection through the relevant framework call-off route.

This procurement indicates demand for an integrated employee benefits provider able to administer several workplace schemes through a single service. Relevant suppliers would need operational capability across childcare, cycling or sustainable travel, recognition vouchers, fitness benefits, retail discounts and voluntary benefits. A credible competitor would also need a reliable self-service portal that employees can use easily to browse, join and manage benefits, supported by accurate administration and responsive employer service. Experience coordinating varied benefit offers, maintaining supplier relationships and presenting a clear digital user experience would be important. The requirement is suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as well as established benefits platforms with the capacity to support a public-sector employer.
