Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited (UKSBS) procured occupational health services from a partner to support its workforce. The requirement is for health services rather than goods, despite the procurement being categorised as goods. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify specific locations within the country. The selected provider, Cordell Health Limited, is a small and medium-sized enterprise. This is a focused occupational health requirement for a public-sector shared business services organisation, so it is most relevant to providers able to deliver workplace health services across a UK-wide setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold competitive quotation. Bids were due by 6 September 2024. UKSBS awarded the contract to Cordell Health Limited on 3 October 2024. The award value is £45,000, and the contract period runs from 3 October 2024 to 30 March 2027. An earlier award entry records £22,500 for a period ending 30 September 2025; a later award entry records £45,000 for the longer period. The published information does not state the detailed evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For occupational health providers, this award is evidence that UKSBS buys external support in this specific service area and has selected an SME through a competitive quotation route below the procurement threshold. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show it can act as an occupational health partner for a public-sector shared services organisation and deliver services across the UK. The award provides a useful indication of the scale of this requirement: it is a contained service contract rather than a large multi-service programme. Providers with relevant occupational health delivery capability and the capacity to support UKSBS’s workforce would be best placed to compete when a comparable requirement next arises. The procurement record identifies no particular accreditation, clinical discipline, staffing level or service specification, so these cannot be inferred as selection requirements.
