## Summary

The public procurement process for the "GB-London: RBGKEW1386 - Health Cash Plan" contract, conducted by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has reached the award stage. This service-focused procurement falls under the benefit services category (CPV code 75310000) and involves the implementation of a health cash plan for employees of RBG Kew Enterprises Ltd. The procurement was carried out using an open procedure and has resulted in an active award made on 24 April 2025 to the Health Shield Friendly Society. The contract will commence on 1 August 2025 and conclude on 31 July 2030, covering the London area in the United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £70,200.

This tender represents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in employee benefit services. The open procedure indicates a transparent and competitive procurement environment, encouraging wide participation. Businesses capable of offering innovative and cost-effective health cash plans would be well-suited to contribute and compete in this market, fostering potential collaborations with established institutions like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Such engagements not only promise growth in terms of expanding service portfolios but also enable building lasting commercial relationships.

## Notice

RBG Kew operates a company-paid health cash plan for employees of the commercial division of RBG Kew Enterprises Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of RBG Kew), headcount circa 190. Other RBG Kew employees have access to the plan on a voluntary, employee-paid basis. The existing contract is due to expire on 31 July 2025 and so we are undertaking a procurement process at this time to ensure continuation of the benefit for eligible staff, and optimal value for money. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
