Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia procured occupational health services for its staff and students. The requirement is divided between two service areas: occupational health provision for staff and occupational health provision for students. The work is delivered for the University in Norwich, within the United Kingdom. This is a health services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The buyer is the University of East Anglia, a public authority. The requirement covers two distinct user groups, so suppliers with experience designing and delivering occupational health services for both employees and students would be the closest fit. Each service area was treated as a separate lot, allowing the requirement to be considered on a staff or student basis.

The procurement has been awarded and contracts are active. Innovate Healthcare Management Group Limited was selected for both lots. Lot 1, Staff, was awarded on 23 June 2026 for £225,073 gross, with a contract signed on 29 July 2026 running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029 and an optional extension to 31 July 2031. Lot 2, Students, was awarded on 23 June 2026 for £1,332,470 gross, signed on 29 July 2026, with the same contract period and possible extension. The procedure was a selective competitive flexible procedure, using an initial tender response followed by a workshop clarification session and revised best-and-final offer. Quality and cost each carried 50%. Two bids reached the final stage for each lot.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from the University of East Anglia for occupational health services serving two different populations: staff and students. A credible future competitor would need to show it can deliver occupational health provision at institutional scale, manage the differing needs of employees and students, and provide consistent service across both workstreams where appropriate. The buyer marked both lots as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that scale alone was not intended to exclude specialist providers. The successful route involved a staged competitive flexible procedure, including a clarification workshop and revised best-and-final offer, so suppliers should be prepared to explain service quality clearly, respond to clarification, and compete on an equal balance of quality and cost.
