Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire has successfully completed the procurement process for providing an Occupational Health System to the Northamptonshire Police and Fire and Rescue Service. The procurement, which falls under the Software Package and Information Systems category (CPV 48000000), utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement under Crown Commercial Services VAS - OPAS - G2, Lot 2 RM6259. The contract was awarded on the 26th of August 2025, with the contract period starting on the 29th of August 2025 and ending on the 28th of August 2028. The procurement value amounts to £103,350, and the service will be delivered in Wellingborough, England.

This tender presents growth opportunities mainly for large software companies capable of offering specialised Occupational Health solutions. Small and medium enterprises or VCSE organisations might find it challenging to compete due to the nature and scale of the requirements highlighted in the Preliminary Market Engagement. The successful bid by Civica UK Ltd demonstrates that businesses offering robust software packages and information systems aligned with public health and safety needs are particularly well-positioned to benefit from such procurements. Business users seeking to expand into public sector contracts in health and safety services might consider leveraging framework agreements and direct awards to increase their competitive edge in future tenders.
