Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a contract for Occupational Health Services under the Health and Social Work Services category to Optima Health UK Limited. This award follows a selective procurement method via a call-off from the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Framework 985B_23 and is in the award stage. The contract, valued at £29,357,061.95, will commence on 4th October 2026 and extend until 3rd October 2030. The services will be delivered across several locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World, primarily targeting His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS).

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies in the Health and Social Work Services industry, especially those capable of offering comprehensive and scalable occupational health solutions. Businesses that are well-suited to compete for similar contracts are those classified as SMEs, given the specific suitability criteria outlined in the procurement process. The large scale of this contract, combined with its extensive geographical reach, suggests that firms with established cross-regional operations and experience in delivering similar services within large organisations or government entities would be particularly competitive. The awarded contract demonstrates demand for robust health services infrastructure, opening the door for future collaborative or subcontracting opportunities.
