Hampton Launches Employee Discount Program, Seeks Vendor Partners to Boost Staff Perks
City invites businesses to offer special discounts on goods and services as part of a new initiative to enhance employee well-being and engagement

Hampton, VA – The City of Hampton’s Human Resources Department is rolling out a new Employee Discount Program and is actively seeking vendor partners to take part in the initiative. Designed to enrich the overall employee experience, the program will give city staff access to exclusive discounts across a wide array of goods and services.
A formal Request for Proposals (RFP) has been issued to attract vendors offering meaningful savings in areas such as retail, travel, entertainment, health and wellness, automotive care, and more. Participating businesses will be listed in a vendor directory accessible to employees and promoted on the City of Hampton’s website, offering ongoing visibility and engagement with a dedicated workforce.
To join the program, vendors must submit a proposal that outlines the specific discount or benefit they are offering and must include a copy of a valid business license. Proposals are being accepted on a rolling basis and may be submitted electronically through a designated Jotform link. Each submission will be evaluated on a 100-point scale that examines the nature of the business and its offerings, the size and value of its discount network, and the user experience of its digital platforms.
Vendors must score at least 70 points to be included in the program. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any proposal based on what it determines to be in the best interest of its employees. Participation does not guarantee increased business, and vendors may require employees to show valid identification or proof of employment to access the benefits.
Selected vendors will remain in the program for up to three years, after which resubmission is required to stay active. The City also reserves the right to remove any vendors from the program at its discretion. Any promotional or marketing materials referencing the program must receive prior approval from the Human Resources Department.
Businesses interested in participating or learning more about the application process can email hrfrontdesk@hampton.gov for additional information.
