UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group, a public authority in sub-central government, has initiated an open tender for "Project 00346 - Occupational Health," aimed at securing a single supplier for comprehensive occupational health services across the United Kingdom. The tender, which focuses on company health services, is in the active procurement stage with submissions required electronically by 6th July 2026. The prospective contract's value is £250,000 with the possibility of two 12-month extensions beyond its initial period from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2029. The tender calls for a provider capable of end-to-end management referral services using the OHIO system and includes a broad suite of specialist clinical assessments and neurodiversity workplace needs assessments. The contract emphasises the supply of management reports supporting fitness for work, reasonable adjustments, and return-to-work planning.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and occupational health sectors, including SMEs and VCSEs, as it seeks a partner with strong capabilities in delivery of integrated occupational health services. Companies with robust IT systems for referral and report management, and expertise in clinical assessments, especially ergonomic and psychological, will find this contract particularly attractive. The procurement’s focus on quality and cost, with a 70% emphasis on performance, highlights the need for businesses that can demonstrate high service standards, strong compliance, and innovative solutions to enhancing workforce wellbeing. Such a venture could propel a business's standing within the occupational health industry and present a precursory engagement forum conducted earlier in April 2026 to gather market insights.
