Description

ECC currently operates a range of employee benefits including discounted shopping, salary sacrifice opportunities, buying of annual leave etc. We are seeking a provider or providers to potentially extend and harmonise our various benefits into an accessible web portal for employees to access wherever and whenever they need to. Active encouragement will also be given during the course of the contract to partner organisations (such as the Vine HR Partnership of neighbouring local authorities) to participate in the scheme at their own cost. The contract and pricing will need to be flexible to accommodate this intent. ECC has already developed such a portal in- house and providers can view this at My ECC Total Reward Hub | Welcome (rewardgateway.co.uk) to determine the minimum standard required.

While the main provision is expected to be through a web-based approach, full access to all services (such as via an app or by telephone to a Help Desk) must be possible for those employees who do not have access, or regular access, to a computer or other media device.
