What is being bought
This framework is for the provision of comprehensive employee benefits and occupational health services.
The framework is structured into two main divisions: Lot 1 (Occupational Health and Related Services) and Lot 2 (Employee Benefits and Services). The objective is to provide Public Sector employers with access to high quality, flexible, and legally compliant services designed to support and protect the physical, mental, and financial wellbeing of their workforces.
Under Lots 1.1 to Lots 1.4, services are structured to provide a consistent, baseline standard of occupational health and eyecare/ hearing solutions that may cover, but will not be limited to:
- Managed Service Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP)
- Occupational Health Services
- Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP)
- Eyecare and Hearing Services (including DSE eyesight tests, spectacles, and hearing checks)
Under Lots 2.1 to Lots 2.3, suppliers will be required to provide Buyers’ staff with access to a range of benefits, typically hosted via a secure, centrally branded Online Employee Benefits Platform that reflects the individual identity of each Buyer. Depending on the selected lot, this will include:
- Employee discounts and automated cashback schemes
- Reward and recognition (including physical/e vouchers and bespoke non financial e cards)
- Technology and smartphone schemes (available as salary sacrifice, net pay deduction, or direct discount options)
- Cycle to work schemes
- Childcare vouchers / payroll giving
- Wellbeing services (including financial wellbeing and education, bereavement services, dental cover, gym memberships, and online holistic wellbeing resources)
