UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority, a sub-central government public authority, concluded a procurement process for the "Provision of Childcare Vouchers". This contract, valued at £65,000, encompasses the distribution of tax-free childcare vouchers as part of a pre-2018 scheme where employees facilitate the funding through salary sacrifice. The procurement method was direct and below the threshold, executed without competition, for services within the child daycare category, classified under CPV code 85312110. The contract, already signed on 18 May 2026, became active on 1 June 2026 and will remain in effect until 31 May 2029, covering multiple UK regions including West Midlands, London, and the South East.

This tender creates significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in employee benefits management and childcare services. Although the contract was directly awarded to FIDELITI LTD, businesses with a robust system for managing employee benefits or salary sacrifice programmes could be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. Engagement with public sector organisations like fire and rescue authorities, who are tasked with managing extensive employee benefits, can provide substantial business growth and development opportunities, particularly for companies interested in expanding their service portfolio within the public sector.
