## Summary

The Essex County Council has recently awarded a contract for the project titled "CO0113 Staff Rewards & Benefits" in the category of Other community, social and personal services. The contract, valued at £200,000 GBP, will run from 19th December 2022 to 30th June 2026. The procurement stage has been completed with the award date on 13th December 2022. The council is based in Chelmsford, England, and the tender process was open to all interested bidders until the deadline on 9th November 2022.

This contract presents an opportunity for service providers to directly engage with Essex County Council for the provision of employee benefits integration into a web portal. This project is suitable for businesses offering digital services and solutions, especially those experienced in developing accessible web platforms and employee benefits systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, aligning with the council's preference for flexible and inclusive service providers. Interested businesses should consider the long-term contract period and ensure compatibility with the council's aim of enhancing employee benefits accessibility.

## Notice

ECC currently operates a range of employee benefits including discounted shopping, salary sacrifice opportunities, buying of annual leave etc. We are seeking a provider or providers to potentially extend and harmonise our various benefits into an accessible web portal for employees to access wherever and whenever they need to. Active encouragement will also be given during the course of the contract to partner organisations (such as the Vine HR Partnership of neighbouring local authorities) to participate in the scheme at their own cost. The contract and pricing will need to be flexible to accommodate this intent. ECC has already developed such a portal in- house and providers can view this at My ECC Total Reward Hub | Welcome (rewardgateway.co.uk) to determine the minimum standard required. While the main provision is expected to be through a web-based approach, full access to all services (such as via an app or by telephone to a Help Desk) must be possible for those employees who do not have access, or regular access, to a computer or other media device.
