UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Board is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process intended to establish an occupational health service. This initiative is centred in Derby, UK, with the industry category classified under health services. The market engagement phase is currently active, with a deadline for responses by 9th October 2025, by 17:00 hours. The procurement is organised under the legal framework of the Procurement Act 2023, with the market engagement specifically designed to solicit feedback that will refine the service specification. The procurement process, identified with the project reference C390046, aims to address the needs arising from the organisation's growth following the transfer of services from NHS England.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses capable of providing occupational health services. The process is particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given its categorisation within a manageable financial range of approximately £58,333 GBP (net). Companies specialising in health services, especially those that have experience with occupational health offerings for sectors like General Practice, Pharmacy, Optometry, and Dentistry, would find this an advantageous opportunity. Engaging in the preliminary market engagement allows these businesses to influence the final service specification and potentially secure a position in any forthcoming detailed procurement exercise, which seeks a dedicated and tailored health service solution.
