## Summary

The procurement process for the "Childcare Vouchers" contract is being managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, with a focus on health and safety services. This contract, which falls under the 'services' category, is located in London, England, and is currently at the award stage. The contract commenced on 1 January 2022 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2024. The tender period for submissions closed on 6 October 2021, and the contract has a total value of £99,000, awarded to Edenred (UK Group) Ltd.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the health and safety services industry, to engage in providing childcare vouchers through a salary sacrifice scheme. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement aims to create inclusive opportunities for qualified vendors. Those with experience in employee benefit services or childcare-related provisions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially enhancing their service offerings while contributing positively to the welfare of employees across the contracting authority.

## Notice

The Childcare Voucher Scheme allows employees to use Salary Sacrifice to vary their contract of employment to give up part of their salary in return for childcare vouchers. This means that employees legally agree to receive less pay in exchange for vouchers. The childcare vouchers can then be used to purchase childcare at a number of approved childcare providers nationwide.
