Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Luton & Dunstable Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently seeking tenders for the provision of an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) service. This procurement falls under the health services category, with the contract anticipated to last for an initial period of two years, potentially extendable to a maximum of seven years based on quality or cost justification. The procurement method is open, and interested parties must submit their proposals by the end date of 27th November 2015. The contract is set to commence in February 2016 and will be executed in Luton, South East England, with a total contract value of £70,000.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in employee wellbeing services, particularly those that can offer innovative EAP solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, given the openness of the procurement process. Providers with experience in delivering comprehensive mental health and support services to public sector organisations will likely find this opportunity particularly relevant as the trust is committed to quality service delivery under budget constraints.
