The renewal of this solution will be working in collaboration with the London Borough of Islington Council with YPO being the lead on the full procurement. The first stage of the engagement will be conducted through the completion of an RFI, whereby YPO are seeking feedback from suppliers on the previous solution as well as potential new providers to gain further understanding within this market to: expand the scope, review the current Terms and Conditions, understand the relevant pricing models, discuss market conditions and trends, gain an understanding of relative accreditations required as representatives within this market, understand the insurance levels required to support the delivery of specific services covered under this framework, discuss potential routes to market and Social Value requirements within the sector and discuss conditions of participation/membership and mechanisms for call-offs in order to ensure the new iteration is fit-for-purpose for the Public Sector to call off. Please register your interest by contacting us at hrsolutions@ypo.co.uk and we will share a copy of the RFI document for your review and completion by the deadline 9th January 2026 - 5pm. Please ensure the RFI request is made accordingly with the subject heading highlighted below: RFI Request 1300 - Occupational Health, EAP and Associated Health and Wellbeing Services Framework Should YPO require additional information from suppliers following the RFI responses we will arrange for a follow up session remotely via Microsoft Teams at a convenient time for both parties concerned. Should YPO wish to proceed further a formal procurement process will be followed in accordance with YPO's Contract procedure rules and in line with the Procurement Act 2023. Please note that any information is being sought without prejudice and without commitment. Following the initial PME stage YPO are intending to advertise this opportunity through Find a Tender in spring 2026 with an estimated contract start date of the 1st October 2026. Please note whilst we strive to ensure all timescales are met the advertising date is indicative and can be subject to change without prior notice.",

The Lot structure supports a full end to end wellbeing solution for the Public Sector offering: Occupational Health Services, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), Health and Wellbeing Related Training Courses, Flu Vaccination Programmes, Modern Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and Student Assistance Programmes (SAP) for Higher Education 16 years +. The framework offers both the Competitive Selection Process and Award Without Competition as procurement routes to use. YPO are the lead public sector buying organisation for this procurement, we manage an array of frameworks for a variety of services and products. Public sector organisations utilise our frameworks as a compliant route to market to award contracts which meet their requirements. The framework is designed to meet the needs of YPO and Other Contracting Authorities by establishing an agreement where the end customer will place the order with the Supplier and the Supplier delivers services direct to the end customer. Any resulting Contract shall be deemed to cover any services that can be supplied by the successful tenderer(s) over the life of the framework within the scope of the lots.",

Any OCA described below may utilise the resulting Framework Agreement(s) from the commencement date. https://www.ypo.co.uk/about/customers/permissible-users",
                "description": "Customers can call-off the Framework using either a Competitive Selection Process or an Award without Competition. The mechanism for Supplier selection for an Award Without Competition by OCAs or YPO will be as follows: Suppliers will be selected based on the evaluation of this Procurement exercise as relevant and detailed below and ranked accordingly: * Region * Overall Quality Score based on Quality Award Questions AC1 - AC5 (excluding Social Value and Sustainability) * Price per Quality Score * Should the customer be in a position whereby there are 2 or more suppliers with the same Price per Quality score they can then either: 1. Request further information from the 2 or more suppliers to determine the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) for their requirements. Or 2. The customer should proceed with a Competitive Selection Process based on the criteria detailed below. An Award Without Competition can be made to a highest ranked Supplier who can meet the Contracting Authorities specific requirements, which reflect the most advantageous offer. This means that YPO or the OCA will apply the award criteria set out in the introduction of this ITT to select the Supplier which it will then place an order with. Contracting Authorities are permitted to undertake a Competitive Selection Process. Any OCA or YPO running a Competitive Selection Process under this Open Framework may stipulate their own Conditions of Participation and/or Mandatory Requirements for the Call-off Contract, provided that they do not contradict Conditions of Participation and/or Mandatory Requirements of the Open Framework. These conditions and requirements must be a proportionate means of ensuring that Supplier's who are invited to compete have the legal, financial, technical, and professional capacity and ability to perform the Call-off Contract. OCAs or YPO may require Supplier's to provide evidence in order to verify whether a particular condition of participation and/or Mandatory Requirement is satisfied, e.g. relevant accreditations. If the Supplier is unable to satisfy OCA's or YPO's Conditions of Participation and/or Mandatory Requirement, they may be excluded from the Competitive Selection Process. All Supplier's awarded to a particular Lot/will be invited to compete in the process. Supplier's will be required to submit \"sealed bids\" via the customer's choice of e-tendering site and based on the following criteria: Cost - YPO would recommend to Contracting Authorities re-opening the cost criteria between 10% - 80% of the total weighting. However, should a customer's requirements need adjusting differently this will be at the customers discretion. Quality - YPO would recommend to Contracting Authorities re-opening the quality criteria between 10% - 80% of the total weighting. However, should a customer's requirements need adjusting differently this will be at the customers discretion. Social Value/Sustainability - YPO would recommend to Contracting Authorities re-opening the Social Value/Sustainability criteria between 10% - 30% of the total weighting. However, should a customer's requirements need adjusting differently this will be at the customers discretion. Where Contracting Authorities flex the Award Criteria to suit their individual requirements then the overall Award Criteria must total 100%. It is intended that each time a Contracting Authority runs a Competitive Selection Process, the award decision will be based on the above criteria. YPO recommend to Contracting Authorities that at least 2 award criteria are re-opened if a Contracting Authority wish to flex the Award Criteria at Competitive Selection Process stage. Contracting Authorities will apply a scoring scale of their own choosing to evaluate responses to the above criteria. The exact scoring scale will be determined at the Call-off Competitive Selection Process stage and made clear within those documents. YPO and OCAs reserve the right to conduct awards under this Open Framework which involve combining two or more Lots which is permitted through Lot 5 - Multi Lot Award. Only Suppliers who are awarded to all Lots, for which the Competitive Selection Process is being carried out, will be invited to compete. 13.7. At the Competitive Selection stage customers will publish their own specific requirements by reference to the above award criteria, to which Supplier's will be expected to respond. These requirements may include, but not limited to: particular delivery timescales; budgetary requirements particular invoicing arrangements and payment profiles; particular associated services, e.g., installation, maintenance, and training; re-establish pricing; Social Value in relation to the Call-off Contract and/or compliance with Social Value measurement tool.
