Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council has successfully completed a tender process for an Employee Assistance Programme, which is a package offering employees advice on personal, financial, and legal matters, including six counselling sessions. This contract was awarded following a restricted procedure, where the tender period concluded on 20 May 2021, and the contract is set to run from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022. The total contract value is £8,925 and the services will be delivered in Milton Keynes, located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity can significantly benefit businesses specialising in employee support services, particularly those that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs), as the suitability criteria indicate that SME participation is encouraged. Companies like Health Assured, which have a strong focus on providing comprehensive employee assistance and counselling services, are well-positioned to compete. The tendering process allows such businesses to expand their clientele and establish long-term contracts with public sector organisations.
