Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council is procuring occupational health services and an employee assistance programme for its workforce across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers pre-employment health screening, referrals, occupational health case management, workplace wellbeing support, workplace screening, clinical advice, and health and wellbeing assessments. The service must support managers’ decisions and employees’ personal actions on health and wellbeing matters. This is a public-sector employee health and guidance service, combining occupational health provision with employee assistance support. The buying organisation is the Nursing and Midwifery Council, based at 23 Portland Place, London. The procurement is classified under guidance and counselling services, with occupational health delivery forming the central operational requirement.

This below-threshold open competition is complete and has been awarded. The tender deadline was 8 August 2025 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 1 August 2025 at 17:00. The estimated tender value was £87,500 excluding VAT, or £105,000 including VAT. One lot was evaluated using 70% quality questions and 30% tariff-based pricing; small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. Health Partners Group Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 April 2026 and is active from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028, with a one-year extension available to 30 April 2029. Its contract value is £70,854.02 excluding VAT, or £85,024.82 including VAT.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Nursing and Midwifery Council for an integrated occupational health and employee assistance provider serving a UK-wide workforce. Suppliers should be able to combine pre-employment screening, clinical assessment, referral handling, case management and workplace screening with practical employee wellbeing and assistance support. Credible competitors would need sound clinical governance, dependable advice for managers, and the capacity to handle sensitive workforce health matters consistently across locations. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so strong service design, experienced clinical teams, clear referral pathways, responsive case management and measurable support for employee wellbeing would be important when this requirement next returns to market. SMEs were considered suitable.
