## Summary

Scottish Enterprise has completed the procurement process for a "Company Sponsored Cash Benefits Healthcare Plan" to provide eligible UK-based staff with comprehensive healthcare benefits. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on employee health services. The process involved a limited tender method and was initiated after an earlier open tender resulted in no compliant bids. The contract was signed on 1st July 2021, with an award value of £169,312. The procurement was conducted in Glasgow, Scotland, reflecting the local commitment to supporting employee welfare.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those that can offer diverse wellness benefits such as dental, optical, and alternative therapies.

### Procurement Information

SE carried out an Open Tender process (6925-2021 (2021/S 000-006925)) earlier in the year, advertised for a 5-week period between between 2/4/2021 and 11/5/2021. There were a limited number of expressions of interest noted for this and one response was submitted. This however this did not adequately address the points of our ITT. We were unable to evaluate the response and therefore had to disqualify the bid on the grounds on non-compliance. On the basis therefore of there being no compliant bids for the tender following a FTS tender process in accordance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 we have chosen to appoint a supplier through the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.
