This initiative is part of the council's efforts to better manage employee rewards, such as retail discounts, recognition, and health support. Located in Portsmouth, UK, the council has made this announcement as a preliminary market engagement notice published on 8th January 2026. A market consultation questionnaire is available, with a due date set for 27th January 2026. This project is significant for potential suppliers, as it involves above-threshold procurement and is scheduled to be awarded with a contract period starting from November 2027 until November 2029, with possibilities for renewal. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions for employee benefits and engagement. It is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative and proven solutions for comprehensive benefits management systems. Engaging in this market consultation allows businesses to showcase their expertise and potentially influence the final specification requirements set by Portsmouth City Council. The council acknowledges the capabilities suppliers bring in delivering such services and encourages all interested parties, regardless of their participation in the initial consultation, to present their market information. This engagement strategy is designed to ensure high-quality proposals that align with the organisation's goals and employee needs. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council's (PCC) is seeking to understand the current software systems on the market which manage the full range of employee benefits and rewards, from retail discounts, employee recognition, health and wellbeing support and engagement. We recognise the experience and innovation that suppliers can bring to these services. As such PCC would welcome your organisation's market information, which will be used to enable PCC to draw up a high-quality specification that meets the needs of the organisation and our employees.
