Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has awarded a contract for the provision of an Employee Assistance Programme, focusing on workplace health and well-being support to employees, aiming to maintain lower levels of sickness absence. The procurement process falls under the services category, specifically health and guidance services, and is located in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, UK (region UKK12). The 'award' stage of the process has been completed as of 28 March 2025, with the contract signed on 18 March 2025. Key dates for the contract are its commencement on 1 April 2025 and its initial end date on 31 March 2028, with an extension possibility up to 31 March 2029. The procurement method used was 'limited competition' due to it being below the threshold.

The awarded contract represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in employee health and well-being services to partner with a sub-central government authority such as North Somerset Council. Businesses with expertise in providing health services and employee guidance are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The limited competition method used suggests a targeted selection, typically beneficial for specialised suppliers meeting specific needs. Engaging in these types of contracts can help businesses expand their portfolio and establish strong relationships with public sector clients, potentially leading to further opportunities through contract renewals and extensions.
