National Framework Agreement for Salary Sacrifice (Home Technology) Schemes

Tender description

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement service seeks to establish a framework agreement with two Lots, each Lot having a single supplier, to deliver Optional Remuneration Arrangement (OPRA) benefit schemes that will provide a range of personal and home technology employee benefits in two different ways to suit the needs of Participating Organisations. The two Lots are described below. Lot 1 Promotional Windows Based Salary Sacrifice Schemes Participating Organisations may choose to open multiple windows for salary sacrifice schemes in each year that the framework agreement operates. Promotional windows may be seasonally-based (e.g. Easter, summer holidays, back to school, Christmas) and/or based around particular events, such as major sporting championships. This Lot is designed for Participating Organisations who prefer to concentrate their salary sacrifice schemes around specific events or specific times of the year. Lot 2 Always Open Salary Sacrifice Scheme The salary sacrifice scheme is permanently available to employees of a Participating Organisation. This allows employees to take advantage of the scheme at a time which suits them. All values are estimates and there is no guarantee or commitment on the part of the Awarding Authority to any level of spend through the proposed framework agreement.
