Summary of the contracting process

Huntingdonshire District Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Cambridgeshire, UK, conducted a procurement process for the provision of Occupational Health Services. The tender, with the ID C/2025/637, culminated in an award on 23rd February 2026. The contract for these services was signed with ZELLO LIMITED, an SME with its address in Gloucester, commencing on 16th February 2026, and is set to run until 15th February 2028, with the possibility of extension up to 2030. The procurement was conducted through an open competition below the threshold, focusing on delivering value for money and innovative support across multiple sites in Hunts, St Ives, St Neots, and Ramsey.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in Occupational Health services, particularly those accredited with SEQOHS. Companies with a proven track record in delivering comprehensive health screenings, night worker assessments, and return-to-work advice are well-suited to compete. The contracting process emphasised the importance of quality support and guidance, meaning that businesses capable of innovative health service delivery stand to gain not only from the immediate contract value of £128,488 but also from potential extensions that could provide long-term engagements. Such opportunities can aid business growth by establishing strong public sector partnerships and demonstrating capability in a competitive field.
