Summary of the contracting process

The National Oceanography Centre has completed a procurement process for the provision of Occupational Health Services under the London Universities Purchasing Consortium framework. This opportunity falls under the industry category of Company Health Services (CPV code 85147000) and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, awarded on 30th April 2026, will run from 26th May 2026 to 25th May 2029, with an estimated value of £50,835. The contract was part of a mini-competition involving all suppliers within Lot 4 of the framework, specifically targeting Occupational Health in Southern England.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the provision of occupational health services, especially those familiar with serving employees in diverse settings such as marine and research environments. It is particularly suited for companies ready to engage in framework agreements and meet the needs of the National Oceanography Centre's workforce across various sites. While a large supplier, Health Partners Group Limited, has been awarded the contract, small and medium enterprises that can offer competitive services under framework agreements like this will find similar opportunities beneficial for growth. The National Oceanography Centre's commitment to sourcing through established frameworks could be appealing to businesses looking for long-term contractual relationships.
