## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority has completed the procurement process for "W76358 Employee Benefits" under the industry category "Benefit services" (CPV code 75310000). The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from the CCS RM6273 Employee Benefit Services framework agreement. The tender process ended on 1 November 2024, with the contract awarded on 1 February 2025. The contract, which is valued at GBP 3,500,000, will span from February 2025 to January 2029, covering services delivered primarily within the United Kingdom, with a significant point of contact located in Newcastle upon Tyne, NE15 8NY.

This tender presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in employee benefit services. With a significant four-year contract period and substantial financial value, it offers a stable and lucrative engagement for the supplier, SME HCI Limited, trading as Vivup. However, SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this particular tender, suggesting a preference for more established firms with proven capabilities in delivering large-scale, comprehensive employee benefits. Thus, established businesses with a solid track record in the employee benefit services sector are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
