UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Low Carbon Contracts Company procured one supplier to provide a staff benefits platform alongside benefits brokerage services. The service is for the organisation’s staff and combines access to a benefits platform with brokerage support. The procurement is categorised as services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in London. The stated requirement covers a single combined service rather than separate lots, so suppliers need to be able to provide or coordinate both the platform and brokerage elements. The buyer is Low Carbon Contracts Company, a central government public authority. The opportunity is relevant to employee-benefits platform providers, benefits consultants and brokers, or suppliers able to deliver the two components together.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Employee Benefits Collective LLP. The award date was 30 September 2026 and the awarded value is £290,000 excluding VAT (£348,000 including VAT). The award period runs from 9 November 2026 to 8 November 2028, with an extension option of up to three additional one-year periods, to a maximum end date of 8 November 2031. The buyer used an open procedure. The original tender deadline was 13 July 2026. There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 80% and price at 20%. Two bids were received, both from SMEs and both reaching the final stage.

This award shows that Low Carbon Contracts Company buys a combined employee benefits platform and brokerage service, and that the work was secured by an SME after competition from another SME. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver a usable staff benefits platform and provide brokerage expertise as a joined-up service, rather than offering only one component. The strong weighting on quality indicates that service quality and the ability to meet the buyer’s requirements matter more than price alone in the evaluation. Suppliers with relevant employee benefits experience, effective platform capability and the capacity to support staff benefits brokerage are the closest fit. The single-lot structure favours providers able to take responsibility for the full requirement or form a delivery partnership that can do so.
