Lot Information

Lot 1

The Terms and Conditions of RM6133 allow for a delayed service start date, so long as the contract is awarded prior to the expiry of the Framework. The Terms and Conditions of the Framework RM6133 also allow the call-off period to exceed the term of the Framework, by a maximum of 4 years. The contract term of 1 October 2023 to 11 August 2027 allows the end dates of both Discounts for Employees and Reward & Recognition Vouchers to be aligned. It is anticipated that a later iteration of the Framework will be available during summer of 2026, which can be reviewed for suitability for a combined call-off within 2026-27, or for an alternative process at that time. The Procurement Service has identified a suitable Framework for the contract as follows: Crown Commercial Service (CCS) RM6133, Employee Benefits - Employee Discount Scheme Period: 30 August 2019 - 29 August 2023 The above Framework is a sole supplier Framework, therefore only one supplier has been appointed to provide Employee Services. Therefore, the Framework allows for a direct award to be conducted. The Council will have access to a free promotion scheme through the agreement, including: * pre-determined agreement scheme branding including scheme logos and brand imagery. * promotional material toolkit including digital banners, posters and leaflet, communication copy, user guide and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for all elements of the agreement. * a digital launch communication package including teaser email, launch email, reminder email and homepage build. * discount scheme onboarding email programme. * discount scheme ongoing email promotions. * free roadshows or promotional events. By conducting a direct award from the Framework, this negates the requirement for a further Procurement exercise which is more efficient and provides best value for the Council.
