Summary of the contracting process

Keele University has completed an award stage for the procurement of its Occupational Health Service, with the contract awarded to Nation Occupational Health Ltd. This selective procurement was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement, targeting health services within the CPV classification 85100000. The contract, valued at £60,000 for a 12-month term, started on 1st November 2025 and will run until 30th October 2026. The service is aimed at supporting the physical and mental well-being of employees, focusing on aspects like health surveillance, well-being promotion, and compliance with legal standards. The designated service location is Keele, Newcastle, with postal code ST5 1PP, and is particularly mindful of small and medium-sized enterprises' participation, although it does not target voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on delivering specialised health services, especially those with a track record in occupational health provision. Nation Occupational Health Ltd, the supplier selected, is an SME specialising in bespoke occupational health services in the North-West of England, suggesting there is room for other SMEs to engage in similar future contracts. Companies adept in offering extensive health and well-being programmes, early intervention in work-related health issues, and who can facilitate return-to-work strategies would find such tenders particularly advantageous for strategic expansion and reputation enhancement in the health services sector.
