## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council, acting as the contracting authority, has completed the procurement process for the "AVC Salary Sacrifice Scheme", a contract providing Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contributions for its employees. Situated in Newtown St Boswells, the council operates within the general public services category under the industry classification. This contract falls under the service category and is located in the UKM91 region. Crucially, the procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication due to the continuation of an existing service that could only be supplied by AVC Wise Limited. The contract, awarded on 27 March 2025, was valued at £270,000 and is now active, signifying the award stage of the procurement lifecycle.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses in the financial services industry, particularly for those that specialise in employee benefit schemes like salary sacrifice. While the contract was uniquely suited to AVC Wise Limited due to technical reasons, businesses with similar capabilities in providing dedicated, tailor-made financial services to local authorities could find opportunities for future collaborations. The emphasis on specialised services in a niche market underscores the potential for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to carve their niche by developing innovative, bespoke solutions to meet specific public sector needs.
