Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority has completed the procurement process for "W76358 Employee Benefits" under the industry category "Benefit services" (CPV code 75310000). The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from the CCS RM6273 Employee Benefit Services framework agreement. The tender process ended on 1 November 2024, with the contract awarded on 1 February 2025. The contract, which is valued at GBP 3,500,000, will span from February 2025 to January 2029, covering services delivered primarily within the United Kingdom, with a significant point of contact located in Newcastle upon Tyne, NE15 8NY.

This tender presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in employee benefit services. With a significant four-year contract period and substantial financial value, it offers a stable and lucrative engagement for the supplier, SME HCI Limited, trading as Vivup. However, SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this particular tender, suggesting a preference for more established firms with proven capabilities in delivering large-scale, comprehensive employee benefits. Thus, established businesses with a solid track record in the employee benefit services sector are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
