## Summary

The procurement process for the Long Service Awards contract is being managed by Derby City Council, with a total contract value of £51,380. This procurement falls under the administration services industry category and is located in Derby, UK. The procurement method employed is a limited approach, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 12th February 2021, and will be executed over a period of 60 months, commencing from spring/summer 2021.

This tender presents a viable opportunity for businesses specialising in employee recognition services, particularly those able to offer innovative voucher solutions. As the previous provider had gone into administration, there remains a level of exclusivity in this market, effectively reducing competition. Companies with capabilities in providing flexible reward systems that can adapt to the unique needs of public sector clients, as well as those experienced in public sector contracts, would be well-positioned to compete for future opportunities emerging from Derby City Council's procurement strategy.

## Notice

To recognise the length of public service colleagues have given the authority, Derby City Council award colleagues at 25- and 40-year milestones with a voucher to spend at an outlet of their choice

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The supplier was identified after the previous provider used by the Council went into administration, and has been identified as the only supplier to offer vouchers which initially have no monetary value and are not required to be paid for until colleagues choose the voucher they wish to purchase. Only at this point is Derby City Council to be invoiced for the value of the voucher, taking away the risk of vouchers not being able to be used. Additional information: The contract value is based on estimated demand across the contract duration. The Council intends the new contract to commence from spring/summer 2021 and run for 60 months.

### Procurement Information

The works, supplies or services could be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
