## Summary

Karbon Homes procured a staff technology benefits scheme, enabling its employees to access Techscheme as part of the organisation’s wider staff benefits package. The service falls within miscellaneous business-related services and is intended to provide staff with access to technology-related benefits rather than to supply a construction, housing or general IT delivery service. The work is for Karbon Homes, a public body responsible for housing and community amenities, and is delivered for staff in the North East of England. The requirement was structured as a single service covering access to the Techscheme. It is relevant to suppliers that operate employee benefits platforms or technology purchase schemes for organisations and their workforces.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. Karbon Homes made a direct award to Blackhawk Network EMEA Limited under the ESPO Framework Agreement 319_23. The stated award basis was price. One bid was recorded. The award is active and the contract was signed on 20 August 2026 for £64,000. The selected supplier is Blackhawk Network EMEA Limited. The requirement included options for two further 12-month periods. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. The contract is therefore the outcome of the direct-award process, rather than an open competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a housing organisation for a managed employee technology benefits scheme, with delivery focused on giving staff access to Techscheme. Suppliers competing for comparable requirements should be able to provide and administer a staff-facing technology benefits service, support employee access and fulfil the operational requirements of a staff benefits package. Experience serving organisational workforces, maintaining reliable user and administrative processes, and managing relationships with technology or benefits partners would help establish credibility. Access to, or eligibility for, a suitable public-sector framework may also be important where Karbon Homes uses a framework-based direct-award route. The requirement is suited to established providers with the infrastructure and service capacity to support a large organisation’s employees.
