Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) has completed its procurement process for the provision of a Health Cashback Scheme, with the award granted to UNUM Limited. Designed to serve up to 750 employees, the scheme offers coverage for essential health services including dental, optical, and therapy consultations, starting from 1st January 2026 for a duration of 12 months with a potential extension of another 12 months. Classified under health insurance services (CPV 66512200) and specifically voluntary health insurance services (CPV 66512210), this contract was pursued through an open procedure within the services industry category. Key locations include both national and international delivery addresses, with the primary focus on the United Kingdom. The procurement stage culminated in an award on 18th December 2025.

This tender presents significant business development opportunities for firms specialising in health insurance and employee benefit packages. With NFRS seeking comprehensive healthcare plans for a large employee base, businesses with expertise in crafting bespoke insurance solutions might find this contract aligns well with their services. Companies operating within the United Kingdom and European territories, particularly those experienced in handling large-scale health coverage and accustomed to open procurement processes, are well-positioned to compete. Despite the absence of specific suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, this contract allows room for established entities to expand their portfolio within public sector partnerships, thereby fostering business growth through enhanced service delivery.
