Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council (ESCC), in collaboration with Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC), has successfully awarded a contract for Occupational Health Services under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process, which falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, involves a limited tender method, specifically a further competition under the ESPO Framework Agreement 985B_23. The contract was formally awarded on 31st March 2026 and will commence on 1st April 2026, running initially for three years with possible extensions of up to two additional years. The contract, valued at an estimated £1,550,000, is designated under the CPV classification 85100000 - Health services, serving regions UKJ21 and UKJ22, and is set to enhance the statutory Occupational Health Service provided to employees of ESCC and BHCC.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those already operating within a framework agreement like People Asset Management Limited T/A PAM OH Solutions Ltd, which was awarded the contract. Companies with expertise in delivering high-quality, cost-effective health services could leverage this opportunity to contribute to public sector health initiatives and expand their portfolio. The emphasis on quality over price in the evaluation criteria (60% to 40%) highlights the priority given to service excellence, offering a competitive edge to businesses that can demonstrate superior service delivery. This contract, operating without the constraints of typical public contract regulations, enables a dynamic business environment where efficiency and quality are paramount, paving the way for strategic partnerships with local government entities.
