Technical requirements: ESPO is seeking to establish a framework agreement with a number of service providers for the provision of staff benefits. The framework will cover a range of benefits from a total managed service to individual schemes such as cycle to work salary sacrifice scheme, financial well-being scheme, technology products, leisure and retail discounts, car leasing scheme and childcare vouchers salary sacrifice scheme.
This lot requires Service Providers to offer a range of staff benefits on behalf of Customers as part of a managed service. Essentially the Service Provider will work with the Customer to develop and manage a “total benefits” package.
ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.
The Framework Agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated in Section II.1.5) includes the option period.
An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the framework agreement.
