Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured general occupational health services for its operations in England. The requirement was placed through Lot 1 of the ESPO Occupational Health Services framework and covers occupational health provision rather than goods or works. The buyer is based in Stockport. This award shows demand for general occupational health services within the NHS property estate; the published procurement does not describe specific clinical services, staffing arrangements or service locations beyond England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Optima Health UK Limited on 5 October 2026. It was a direct call-off from the ESPO framework, using a selective procedure. The award value is £63,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The original submission deadline was 18 September 2026 at 5pm. This was a single-lot award for general occupational health services. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award records Optima Health UK Limited as the selected supplier.

For occupational health providers, this award is evidence that NHS Property Services buys general occupational health services through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver occupational health services across the buyer’s England-wide footprint and meet the service requirements set through the relevant framework. The successful supplier was identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of that scale can win this type of work. Suppliers already appointed to the ESPO Occupational Health Services framework are best placed to compete through the same route; providers outside it would need to consider how they could qualify for the framework when it is next open to suppliers.
