Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Business Services Authority procured occupational health services for its workforce and organisational needs. The requirement is classified as company health services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the Authority’s base in Newcastle upon Tyne, with the wider service location identified as the United Kingdom. The procurement covers the provision of occupational health support under a named NHS buyer, rather than goods, construction or general consultancy. The selected provider is an independent medical services business, indicating a requirement centred on professional occupational health delivery. The opportunity is relevant to occupational health providers, independent medical service companies and other specialist employee-health businesses that can support a public-sector organisation through a structured purchasing arrangement and sustained service provision over several years.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. NHS Business Services Authority used a selective procedure as a further competition under the GCA RM6296 Occupational Health Services dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. UK Independent Medical was awarded the contract on 20 August 2026 for GBP 1,354,578.88. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2031, giving a term of four years and six months. The awarded value and contract period apply to the single stated requirement. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award was made on the basis of the further-competition process within the dynamic purchasing system.

This award is commercially relevant to established occupational health and independent medical service providers, including SMEs, that want to understand the scale and route used by NHS Business Services Authority for company health services. A credible future competitor would need a service model capable of supporting an NHS organisation over a sustained contract, with the professional resources, operational resilience and governance expected of a public-sector occupational health provider. Experience of delivering employee health services at organisational scale would help suppliers demonstrate relevance, while familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and further competitions would be important for accessing similar call-off opportunities. Providers should also be able to manage contract mobilisation, consistent service delivery and the reporting and assurance requirements associated with a long-term NHS customer.
