Summary of the contracting process

Essex Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Fire & Rescue Authority procured a service medical adviser to support its fire and rescue service. The requirement falls within health services and was delivered in the East of England. The procurement was for general occupational health services under the ESPO framework, covering the provision of a service medical adviser. The buyer is based at Kelvedon Park in Rivenhall, near Witham. This is a specialist occupational health requirement for suppliers able to provide medical advisory services to a public emergency-service organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to People Asset Management Limited. The award was made on 4 March 2026, following a tender deadline of 23 January 2026. The award value is £307,200. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with two one-year extension options. The contract was placed through ESPO framework 985b-23, Lot 1 for general occupational health services. The process record does not state a separate evaluation basis or provide further selection criteria.

For suppliers that did not win, the award demonstrates demand from Essex Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Fire & Rescue Authority for a dedicated medical adviser within general occupational health services. A credible future competitor would need to show it can provide the specialist medical advisory input required by a fire and rescue employer, and deliver it as part of a broader occupational health framework offer. The winning supplier is a large company, indicating the scale of provider selected for this requirement; the procurement does not establish that a particular company size or accreditation is required. Experience serving public emergency-service organisations would help a supplier demonstrate relevance to this buyer’s need.
