What is being bought

Published requirement description

Essex County Council (ECC) has made a commitment to develop an employee benefits scheme for its employees and also has a long-term vision to move towards a ‘Total Reward’ system to potentially include total reward statements. ECC wishes to continue to offer its staff salary sacrifice arrangements that offer ‘real’ benefits that reflect typical consumers pending and provides significant savings for scheme members.

We are seeking a provider to extend our benefits offering to include the provision of an Electric Vehicle Leasing Salary Sacrifice Scheme.

The Electric Vehicle Leasing Salary Sacrifice Scheme will be available to eligible core ECC employees (circa5,250 employees). The scheme will need to be flexible to allow for fluctuations in workforce numbers as ECC reviews structure and operating models.

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 65
  • Price: 35
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
