Summary of the contracting process

The Wolverhampton City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "CWC22022 - Employee Benefits." This initiative falls under the business services category, specifically aimed at services related to law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The Council seeks providers who can deliver various employee benefit packages, including salary sacrifice schemes and a customised lifestyle discounts platform. The formal procurement exercise is expected to take place later this year, with a future notice scheduled for 30th June 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in employee benefits and well-being solutions. Companies that provide innovative financial well-being benefits, low carbon initiatives, or platforms that enhance employee engagement would be particularly well-suited to compete. The Council is also keen to collaborate with local suppliers to foster development within the local economy, creating a fertile ground for businesses looking to expand their reach and offerings within Wolverhampton.

Notice Title

CWC22022 - Employee Benefits

Notice Description

The Council requires a provider(s) who can provide the following employee benefits to our employees: * Salary sacrifice schemes - childcare vouchers, green car scheme, home technology, cycle to work * A customised lifestyle discounts platform, which in addition to providing access to 1000s of discounts and hosting our salary sacrifice schemes, also signposts employees to other council employee benefits, including the Local Government Pension Scheme and WV Active gym memberships The Council also offer other employee benefits outside of this contractual arrangement and these include: * Annual leave purchase salary sacrifice scheme * Discounted health cash plan * Free will writing * Flu vaccinations * Payroll giving In preparation for a formal procurement exercise taking place later in the year, the Council are keen to understand what new and/or additional employee benefits are available so that it may consider including them as part of any future employee benefits offer. The Council are open to considering all options and are particularly interested to explore the following: * benefits within the financial wellbeing arena * ways in which it can meaningfully and effectively recognise and reward employee successes * 'low carbon' benefits (such as renewable energy offers) and offsetting schemes in support of its climate change agenda * working with local suppliers to encourage the local economy and support the Wolverhampton pound * how it can maximise employee engagement with our benefits offering, regardless of work location and ability to access technology at work The Councils current model of a central platform providing access to all its employee benefits has worked well, however it is not an expectation that a single provider will supply the platform and all the employee benefits we offer. The Council would simply require any platform to have the ability to host third party products. Please note that the Council are satisfied that it knows enough about its current benefits/schemes and so this process is not about learning about benefits that it already provides (green car, childcare vouchers, cycle to work, home technology, discounts scheme, health cash plans etc.); a formal assessment of the 'best' schemes/providers of these benefits will take place during the formal procurement process. Instead, the Council see this as an informal opportunity to learn about new and innovative ways that organisations are using to reward and recognise their employees.
