Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group is procuring a comprehensive occupational health service for its colleagues across the UK. The requirement is for one supplier to manage referrals end to end through an occupational health information and online (OHIO) system. Services include triage and consultations by telephone, video and face to face; non-diagnostic neurodiversity workplace needs assessments; ergonomic, musculoskeletal and psychological clinical assessments; and management of GP and specialist correspondence. The provider must produce clear, actionable reports covering fitness for work, reasonable adjustments and return-to-work planning. It must also provide the OHIO platform for referral management, reporting and access to occupational health guidance. This is a services contract classified as company health services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bespoke Wellbeing Limited was selected on 13 August 2026 for a gross award value of £144,892.50. The planned contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with renewal options extending the maximum period to 30 September 2031; the award describes these as 1+1 extensions and the lot as two 12-month extensions. The original estimated value was £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 gross). Evaluation gave quality 70% and cost 30% weighting. The tender closed on 6 July 2026 at 17:00, and the award standstill ends on 28 August 2026. The planned signature date is 31 August 2026. Twelve bids reached the final stage, including twelve from SMEs.

This requirement indicates established demand from a large housing and care organisation for an integrated occupational health model rather than isolated clinical appointments. A credible future competitor would need qualified occupational health practitioners able to deliver triage and consultations across telephone, video and face-to-face channels, together with specialist capability in neurodiversity, ergonomics, musculoskeletal health and psychological assessment. It would also need robust case management, secure handling of health data and correspondence, and an OHIO platform supporting referrals, reporting and guidance resources. Strong management reporting, practical advice on adjustments and return-to-work planning, reliable service levels, performance monitoring and escalation arrangements would be important. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and attracted substantial SME participation, indicating that a capable specialist provider can compete at this scale.
