Summary of the contracting process

New College Lanarkshire sought an occupational health and health surveillance service to support staff wellbeing and meet statutory health and safety obligations. The scope included management referrals; pre-employment and fitness-for-work assessments; advice on reasonable adjustments, rehabilitation, redeployment and sickness absence; health monitoring and surveillance; specialist advice for managers, HR and clinical governance; policy and procedure development; medical referrals and access to local resources such as occupational health physicians and physiotherapists. The supplier would also provide monthly progress reporting, health promotion campaigns, and advice on requirements including First Aid at Work and Display Screen Equipment. The service was intended for New College Lanarkshire’s staff and personnel, with delivery associated with its operations in Lanarkshire.

This open procedure has ended without a contract award: the tender and its sole lot were cancelled, and the recorded award was unsuccessful and discontinued. The tender deadline, bid opening and award-period start were all 6 November 2025 at 15:00 UTC. The estimated procurement value was £360,000. The planned service period was 720 days, with the authority reserving two 12-month extension options. Evaluation was weighted 70% technical quality and 30% price. Participation required two relevant service examples from the previous three years, suitable financial standing supported by two years of audited accounts or equivalent, and specified £5 million employers’, professional and public liability insurance. Nurses delivering the service had to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Although this procurement did not result in an award, it demonstrates the type of occupational health capability New College Lanarkshire expected from a credible provider. Relevant suppliers would need to deliver an integrated service covering referrals, pre-employment screening, fitness-for-work decisions, health surveillance, absence case management, rehabilitation, redeployment advice and manager support. Clinical governance, consistent pathways for common conditions such as stress and musculoskeletal symptoms, reporting and health promotion would also be important. A strong competitor would have access to occupational health physicians, physiotherapists and other local medical resources, with appropriately registered nursing staff. Evidence of comparable delivery, resilient supply-chain systems, prompt payment performance and the ability to meet substantial insurance requirements would support future credibility, including where subcontractors are used.
