In alignment with this commitment, our People Plan (2023-2027) articulates our vision to become an inclusive employer of choice, fostering a skilled, diverse, and healthy workforce. To support this vision, we aim to provide our staff with a comprehensive programme of initiatives that promote physical, emotional, social, financial, and environmental health. This tender seeks to procure Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services that will underpin our efforts to maintain a healthy, safe, and well-supported workforce. Objectives: * Preventative Support: Implement measures that proactively support employee health and wellbeing, reducing the incidence of health issues and sickness absence. * Productivity and Efficiency: Enhance overall productivity and efficiency by ensuring employees are healthy and able to perform their duties effectively. * Reduction of Sickness Absence: Minimise sickness absence through early intervention, prevention, and rehabilitation initiatives. Scope of Services: * The service is required for the Authority's directly employed staff, approximately 5,800 individuals. * The service shall enable the Council to address specific health and attendance issues, meet statutory obligations related to health surveillance, and identify preventative measures to minimise the risk of sickness absence. * The service should contribute to improving employee health and wellbeing in the workplace through targeted interventions and support mechanisms. * In addition, the service must provide both face-to-face and desk-based mobility assessments for Blue Badge applicants who do not automatically meet the eligibility criteria.",
