Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured a comprehensive occupational health service for its workforce. The service is intended to support employees’ health, wellbeing and productivity throughout the contract term. The requirement falls within occupational health and company health services, with a related human resources management consultancy classification. Delivery is for the Council’s workforce in Central Bedfordshire, based at Priory House, Chicksands, Bedfordshire, and may involve service provision across the United Kingdom and wider locations identified in the procurement. The buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction requirement, and is relevant to occupational health providers, employee wellbeing specialists and organisations combining clinical workplace health provision with workforce support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 27 July 2026 to Health Partners Group Limited. The award was made through the ESPO Framework, using a procedure recorded as “Other”. The awarded value is reported as £0. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 16 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract covers occupational health services for Central Bedfordshire Council’s workforce, and the procurement records the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the supplier is responsible for providing the comprehensive service described in the requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for an end-to-end occupational health service supporting workforce health, wellbeing and productivity. Competitors seeking similar work with Central Bedfordshire Council would need credible capability in company health services and workplace occupational health, with the capacity to deliver a comprehensive service for a council workforce. Relevant strengths would include qualified occupational health professionals, reliable employee assessment and advisory arrangements, practical wellbeing support, and the ability to work with a public-sector employer’s workforce and management teams. Experience delivering integrated services at organisational scale would help establish credibility. Familiarity with framework-based public procurement, particularly routes such as the ESPO Framework, would also be commercially relevant.
