PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VisitScotland is seeking a provider for a medical cash plan for its employees. The requirement covers employee benefits services, including the administration and delivery of medical cash plan benefits and claims. The service will be delivered across the UK. VisitScotland, based in Edinburgh, is the buying organisation and is also acting as a central purchasing body. This opportunity is suited to employee benefits providers, health cash plan operators, insurers and specialist claims administrators able to support an organisation-wide scheme. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The classification is CPV 66512200, medical insurance services.

The procurement has reached tender: VisitScotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time. The contract is for 360 days, with renewal options described as 12 months plus a further 12 months. The estimated value is £63,000. Bids must remain valid for 180 days after the submission deadline. Variants are not allowed, submissions must be in English, and electronic payment and ordering will be used; electronic invoicing is allowed. The arrangement is expected to recur in July 2029. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity is relevant to suppliers with an established medical cash plan or employee healthcare benefits product, supported by reliable claims handling and member administration. Strong candidates are likely to have the systems and operational capacity to enrol and support employees across the UK, manage claims accurately, provide clear member communications and maintain responsive customer service. Providers should be comfortable with electronic ordering, payment and invoicing, and able to submit a complete English-language tender without variant proposals. The requirement may suit insurers, health cash plan specialists, employee benefits consultancies with delivery capability, and claims administrators operating for public or large organisational clients. It offers a focused contract for a provider able to deliver a managed employee benefit scheme and potentially support successive renewal periods.
