Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process revolves around NHS England's initiative to award a contract for an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) spanning from January 2025 to January 2027. This tender, classified under health services, required a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Valued at £215,000, it covers comprehensive EAP services to support NHS England staff across various wellbeing aspects. The procurement now stands in the award stage, with Health Assured Ltd securing the contract. The tender was concluded with an active award on 6th January 2025, after the tender period closed on 11th December 2024. This service is intended to benefit employees throughout the UK.

This EAP contract provides significant opportunities for businesses in health services, particularly those specialising in employee support and mental health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises are well suited to this type of contract given its focus on comprehensive and holistic wellbeing services. The opportunity for business growth lies in partnering with large organisations like NHS England, facilitating the delivery of tailored support and potentially opening doors to additional contracts within the public sector. Such engagements not only help to extend market reach but also enhance business credibility and expertise in health-related services.
