Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport has completed the awarding stage of its procurement for the "Department for Transport Employee Benefits Programme" (TRHR3294). The contract, focusing on miscellaneous business and business-related services, was awarded under the Crown Commercial Services Employee Benefits and Services Framework agreement RM6273. This service-based contract will run for an initial term of two years from 01 August 2024 to 31 July 2026, with options for extension up to two additional years in one-year intervals. The contract, valued at £3,500,000, entails providing a comprehensive suite of managed employee benefits, such as an employee benefits platform, discounts, reward and recognition schemes, and various salary sacrifice options like cycle-to-work and childcare voucher schemes, available across the United Kingdom. The award was concluded using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in employee benefits and related services. Firms with expertise in developing and managing employee benefits platforms, providing employee discounts, or offering salary sacrifice schemes are especially well-suited to participate in future tenders of this nature. The framework used suggests that there may be ongoing opportunities as the Department for Transport continues to seek innovative solutions to enhance its benefits offerings to employees. Businesses experienced in large-scale, government contracts and those with a strong track record in service quality and cost efficiency stand to benefit the most from engaging in such procurement processes.
