We are looking to engage with interested suppliers who are experienced in providing comprehensive Occupational Health (OH) service comprised of Health Assessment Questionnaires, Management Referrals, DSE Assessments, Immunisation Programmes, Employee Assistance Programme and Health Screening services. We are also considering splitting the services into the following lots * Lot 1 Occupational Health services * Lot 2 Employment Assistance programme * Lot 3 Health Screening However, we are seeking the marketplace feedback on the proposed lotting approach and potential procurement procedures. It is envisaged that the length of the new agreement will be for an initial 2 years with the option to extend for a further period of up to 3 years, starting in early 2026 with an estimated contract value ranging between PS500k to PS600k (but may vary). However, note that NAO is not advertising this PIN as a mechanism to reduce future procurement timescales.
