Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process completed by UK Shared Business Services Limited involved the direct award of an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) contract under the CCS Framework Agreement RM6182, specifically targeting Occupational Health, Employee Assistance Programmes, and Eye Care Services Lot 3. The contract, valued at £100,000, falls under the Health Services category (CPV 85100000) and covers services to be delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is in the "Award" stage, with the contract running from 11 November 2024 to 30 October 2026. The process utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

The EAP services sector is especially well suited for SMEs looking to leverage specialised expertise in employee wellbeing programmes. Firms like PAM Wellbeing Limited, the awarded supplier, can benefit by demonstrating their capability to deliver services across distributed locations, thus gaining further credibility and potential for future opportunities within the UK public sector. Enterprises focusing on healthcare solutions and support services might find similar framework agreements an advantageous route for growth.
