Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The General Pharmaceutical Council is buying occupational health services to support employee wellbeing and safe working practices across England, Scotland and Wales. The service covers screening new-starter health questionnaires and advising the organisation, with secure online tools for referrals and reports. It must provide timely telephone and remote appointments with nurses, physiotherapists and mental health clinicians, and allow the Council to request clarification or further detail on clinical reports. The requirement also includes a round-the-clock Employee Assistance Programme, offering immediate support, counselling and online content and virtual events. This is a health services requirement (CPV 85140000), combining clinical occupational health provision, secure case management and employee assistance.

The procurement has been awarded. Health Partners Group Limited was selected on 13 August 2026 for a contract worth £60,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award criteria or evaluation weighting are stated in the published process information, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described further. The award is active, and the tender status is complete.

For occupational health providers, this award demonstrates demand for a joined-up service covering new-starter health screening, clinical advice and employee assistance across a geographically broad UK workforce. A credible competitor would need to provide access to nurses, physiotherapists and mental health clinicians by telephone and remotely, as well as a secure online system for referrals and reports. The ability to respond promptly, produce useful reports and handle follow-up questions is central to the requirement. Providers also need to operate a 24/7 employee assistance service with immediate support, counselling, online resources and virtual events. The selection of an SME shows that this service was delivered by a smaller supplier; the requirement was procured through a dynamic purchasing system call-off.
