option of MI data, e.g number of vouchers requested, vouchers redeemed and vouchers remaining, with the option to redistribute unredeemed/cancelled vouchers if possible.

Our proposed process is as follows: staff members request an e-voucher by entering their chosen email address, either through a link or an online portal. The e-voucher will then be sent to their specified email address within 24 hours. The email will include the voucher itself, along with clear instructions detailing how to redeem it, where it can be used, and the time frame in which it must be redeemed. We are open to alternative methods or processes from the above. The contract and service launch should be in place by 30th September 2026, for the scheme to be open for 6 months each year. We do not anticipate any GDPR of personal information will be required, simply a work email address to send the e-voucher to.

To ensure that this procurement maximises appropriate bidder responses we have the following questions that we would like to pose to interested suppliers: 1. Supplier Capability and Supplier Capacity - a. Please can you confirm that you would have the relevant skills, capability and capacity to undertake the services detailed? b. Based on the information provided, please can you advise if you believe that the scope is clear and achievable? 2. Procurement Timescales - a. Based on the timescales for the procurement and services, please can you advise if your organisation would have capacity to provide a bid response and undertake the services within the timescales detailed? 3. Project Scope - a. Please can you advise if there is any additional information that you would require to ensure you have all the information required to submit a tender response? Based on the project detail provided, is it your intention to respond to the Further Competition documentation once issued? We are inviting interested suppliers to respond to the above questions by completing this questionnaire https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ccX9R85kkq by Wednesday 27th May 2025 By responding to the questionnaire, you will be engaging in non-competitive dialogue which will enable ICS to develop and assess the market's appetite, concerns and view on the formulation of its requirements. ICS may consider the information and responses received as part of the questionnaire to help inform the specification and further decision making in relation to the planning and conduct of the procurement, ensuring all valid options are considered. If only 1 supplier expresses interest, ICS will pursue a direct award. For the avoidance, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition. Not providing a response to the questionnaire shall not prevent any supplier from participating in a future procurement, nor is it intended that any information suppliers as part of the market consultation place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. - Next notice expected101 days ago10 Jun 2026, 23:59 BST
