## Summary

Renfrewshire Council has completed the procurement process for a Call-Off Contract titled "Employee Benefits" within the general public services industry category. The procurement covered services for employees in the region UKM83, with the award notice published on 8th January 2025. The process, led by Renfrewshire Council, concluded with the awarding of the contract to SME HCI Ltd (Trading as Vivup) on 20th December 2024. The Council will use an online platform to offer a range of employee benefit schemes, including Salary Sacrifice, Salary Deduction, and Voluntary Benefit Schemes, following an open procedure under the Crown Commercial Services Employee Benefits Framework Agreement (RM6273).

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses offering employee benefits platforms, particularly those specialising in managed services and compliant with salary sacrifice schemes. Companies capable of providing technology-driven solutions for employee benefits, including discounts, financial wellbeing schemes, and recognition programmes, are well-placed to compete in this space. The framework agreement additionally supports the participation of other local entities like Renfrewshire Leisure Limited, Scotland Excel, and Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board, potentially broadening the market scope for suppliers.
