A request for information (RFI) will be issued via eTendersNI. We welcome responses from all interested parties.
The current agreement is with Benenden Healthcare and has been in place for circa 10 years. Initially with a small number of employees, which has steadily grown.
The current agreement covers pre-existing medical conditions and employees have access to all services from day one. NI Water pays the annual membership fee for each employee who is a member. This is then re-couped via salary sacrifice.
NI Water requires the same service, as a minimum, going forward.
