What the notice says
ECC currently operates a range of employee benefits including discounted shopping, salary
sacrifice opportunities, buying of annual leave etc. We are seeking a provider or providers to
potentially extend and harmonise our various benefits into an accessible web portal for
employees to access wherever and whenever they need to. Active encouragement will also
be given during the course of the contract to partner organisations (such as the Vine HR
Partnership of neighbouring local authorities) to participate in the scheme at their own cost.
The contract and pricing will need to be flexible to accommodate this intent. ECC has
already developed such a portal in- house and providers can view this at My ECC Total
Reward Hub | Welcome (rewardgateway.co.uk) to determine the minimum standard
required.
While the main provision is expected to be through a web based approach, full access to all
services (such as via an app or by telephone to a Help Desk) must be possible for those
employees who do not have access, or regular access, to a computer or other media device.
How to bid
- Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
- Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
