This engagement aims to gather insights on enhancing the range and management of staff benefits. The consultation is taking place in Birmingham, England, with a deadline for supplier engagement set for 1st April 2022. The procurement is classified under the software package and information systems category, which may also encompass miscellaneous software packages and computer systems. Interested suppliers can find more information and register their interest through the provided links. This preliminary market consultation presents an excellent opportunity for businesses that specialise in employee benefits, software development, and information systems to engage with Aston University. As the institution seeks to improve its existing benefits programme, vendors that can offer innovative solutions or insights into benefit management will be particularly well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with relevant expertise in software solutions and human resource services. ## Notice The purpose of this PMC is to seek input from potential suppliers within the market, to establish how Aston University may improve the range, process and promotion of staff benefits provided to University staff. The University has an existing range of benefits in place, but the offer is judged to be 'immature', however, we have the scope and the ambition to improve the provision and management of the benefits provided. The PMC will provide an opportunity for Aston University to obtain an insight into how potential suppliers might approach the delivery of this product/service and gain an understanding into the likely level of interest from the market.
