## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire procured a salary sacrifice Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVC) employee benefit scheme. The service provider is expected to deliver and administer the scheme on behalf of the commissioner, under the Portsmouth City Council Framework Agreement. This is a specialist employee benefits service within insurance and pension services, rather than a general payroll or workplace pension administration contract. Delivery is associated with the North West of England, serving the commissioner and its workforce. The opportunity is relevant to providers of salary sacrifice AVC arrangements, employee financial benefits and related pension or insurance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable participants, so the requirement is not limited to large national providers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. AVC WISE LTD was awarded the contract on 14 July 2026. The awarded value is £21,600, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The wider estimated procurement value is between £21,600 and £68,000. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2026 at 12:00. Two award entries identify the same supplier, value and contract period; these should not be treated as separate opportunities or added together. The published outcome records an active award to AVC WISE LTD. The available procurement information identifies the selective framework call-off route, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a salary sacrifice AVC employee benefit scheme from the Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a compliant, reliable AVC arrangement that employees can access through salary sacrifice, with the operational capability to administer contributions and support the employer throughout the service. Experience in pension and insurance services would be directly relevant, as would understanding of public-sector governance, employee communications, data handling and implementation within an existing framework route. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist providers with focused employee-benefits expertise may be able to compete without the scale of a major generalist insurer.
