Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is spearheading a procurement process to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Occupational Health and Related Services across the United Kingdom. The initiative, titled "Occupational Health and Related Services - DPS", currently in the tender stage, is open to the public, wider public, and third sectors. With a procurement value of GBP 220 million, the process follows a selective method under the Light Touch Regime, ensuring compliance with specific regulations. The services sought encompass occupational health, guidance and counselling, employee assistance programmes, managed services, eyecare, and hearing services. The tender period concludes on 25th October 2028, with the contract anticipated to start on 26th October 2028 and conclude on 27th October 2028. Business opportunities are particularly ripe for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given their eligibility and alignment with service requirements.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses poised to deliver health-related services and programmes. Organisations that specialise in occupational health, counselling services, and managed health solutions are particularly well-positioned to benefit. The DPS allows for flexibility and innovation in service delivery, catering to a broad spectrum of public and third-sector needs. Furthermore, the value of the contract offers substantial revenue potential for businesses, fostering growth and expansion possibilities. Companies with the capability to deliver comprehensive, high-quality health services will find a conducive environment for long-term partnerships with government bodies and other public sector entities through this arrangement. Given the UK-wide service delivery requirements, those with regional and scalable operations are likely to gain a competitive advantage.
