## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is initiating a National Framework Agreement for Salary Sacrifice (Personal & Home Technology) Schemes. This procurement falls under the services category and employs an open procedure, accommodating suppliers from various locations including the UK and overseas territories. The tender period concluded on 9th October 2017, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st November 2017 and run until 31st October 2021. The procurement process includes two distinct Lots aimed at delivering employee benefit schemes through promotional windows and an always-open salary sacrifice scheme.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in employee benefits, technology solutions, and retail services associated with home and personal technology. Suppliers of IT equipment, electrical appliances, or consultancy services can capitalise on this framework to engage with multiple participating organisations. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, enhancing their visibility and capability within the public sector market.

## Notice

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement service seeks to establish a framework agreement with two Lots, each Lot having a single supplier, to deliver Optional Remuneration Arrangement (OPRA) benefit schemes that will provide a range of personal and home technology employee benefits in two different ways to suit the needs of Participating Organisations. Lot 1 Promotional Windows Based Salary Sacrifice Schemes Participating Organisations may choose to open multiple windows for salary sacrifice schemes in each year that the framework agreement operates. Promotional windows may be seasonally-based (e.g. Easter, summer holidays, back to school, Christmas) and/or based around particular events, such as major sporting championships. This Lot is designed for Participating Organisations who prefer to concentrate their salary sacrifice schemes around specific events or specific times of the year. Lot 2 Always Open Salary Sacrifice Scheme The salary sacrifice scheme is permanently available to employees of a Participating Organisation. This allows employees to take advantage of the scheme at a time which suits them. Additional information: A selection of the ITT documents has been attached for information only. The complete ITT can be accessed at NHS Sourcing (link above). Tenders will only be considered if they are submitted through the NHS Sourcing portal.
