Scottish Enterprise has completed the procurement process for a "Company Sponsored Cash Benefits Healthcare Plan" to provide eligible UK-based staff with comprehensive healthcare benefits.

Lot 1

SE is looking to appoint a single supplier to deliver a company sponsored health cash benefits plan for our UK based employees as an employee benefit. The plan should offer a wide range of health and well-being benefits with money back, up to set limits, towards everyday healthcare expenses. The plan must include a company sponsored level plus additional levels where employees have the option of taking up higher levels of benefit for themselves and/or family members on a self-pay basis, direct from a 4-weekly salary. The following core services to be included in the offering as a minimum: - optical - dental - dental accident - musculoskeletal therapies i.e. physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture, homoeopathy etc - specialist consultation i.e. investigative procedures, medical tests, scans, x-ray's, MRI's, pathology, medical aids e.g. hearing aids etc - health and wellbeing - alternative therapies such as aromatherapy, Indian head massage, reflexology etc

Procurement Information

SE carried out an Open Tender process (6925-2021 (2021/S 000-006925)) earlier in the year, advertised for a 5-week period between between 2/4/2021 and 11/5/2021. There were a limited number of expressions of interest noted for this and one response was submitted. This however this did not adequately address the points of our ITT. We were unable to evaluate the response and therefore had to disqualify the bid on the grounds on non-compliance. On the basis therefore of there being no compliant bids for the tender following a FTS tender process in accordance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 we have chosen to appoint a supplier through the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.
