Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed the procurement process for providing Employee Benefits including Green Car and Cycle to Work schemes. The procurement method followed was an open procedure, which falls under the services category. The awarded contract, with a total value of £500,000, was signed on 16 June 2025 with Edenred (UK Group) Ltd, a large company based in London. This contract aims to offer innovative employee benefits and was part of a framework agreement. The primary delivery region for this service is UKM75, specifically Edinburgh.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the services industry, specifically those with expertise in employee benefit schemes and salary sacrifice programmes. Large-scale organisations, similar to Edenred, with the capability to manage such comprehensive schemes, are well-positioned to compete for similar future procurements. Businesses looking to expand into employee benefits and service sectors will find this an attractive precedent in forming strategic partnerships within public institutions like the University of Edinburgh.
