UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Commercial Services Kent Limited procured an employee benefits platform service following a review of its existing offering. The requirement is classified as benefit services and covers the supply of a platform for employee benefits. The buyer is a public authority based in West Malling, Kent. The service is associated with the buyer’s employee benefits provision rather than with the supply of physical goods or construction works. The procurement was arranged as a single completed lot. The selected supplier is SME HCI Ltd Perkbox, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. Businesses operating employee benefits platforms or delivering employee benefit services are the most directly relevant comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded. It was a below-threshold procurement, with the recorded procedure detail described as “below threshold - unknown”. One lot was completed. SME HCI Ltd Perkbox received the award, and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The active contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2029. Its gross value is £86,400. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The award concerns benefit services for the employee benefits platform requirement. The procurement record does not set out an award date or evaluation criteria, so the outcome is identified by the active award and signed contract rather than by a published scoring basis.

This award demonstrates that Commercial Services Kent Limited has a defined requirement for an employee benefits platform and has selected an SME supplier to deliver it. A credible future competitor would need a functioning platform and the ability to provide employee benefit services to a public-sector buyer over a multi-year contract. Relevant suppliers are likely to include specialist employee benefits technology businesses, platform operators and providers combining software with benefit-service delivery. The requirement is focused rather than broad: businesses should be able to show direct experience of employee benefits platforms or closely comparable benefit services, together with the operational capacity to support the buyer throughout the contract period. The buyer’s previous procurement route was below threshold.
