Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has awarded Contract 2388-25 for the Supply of a Staff Benefits Managed Service, valued at £1,394,000, to SME HCI Ltd (Vivup). This contract spans from 19th February 2025 to 31st March 2027, with the possibility of extending to 31st March 2029. The procurement was carried out through a direct award via the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Framework Agreement 319_23. The contracting process is now complete, with the award notice published on 4th April 2025. The service will chiefly take place in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, under the industry category of benefit services.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in benefit services by allowing them to compete for sustained contracts with local councils. Firms with experience in providing comprehensive employee benefits and possessing the ability to handle large-scale managed services within complex organisational structures will find this advantageous. Although the winning bidder is a large-scale business rather than an SME or VCSE, this award underscores the potential for businesses of suitable scale and capacity to secure similar public procurement opportunities in the future.
