Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust, located in Norwich, United Kingdom. The tender is for Employee Assistance Programme Services (EAP) within the miscellaneous health services industry category, specifically targeting UKH region. The procurement stage is completed, with the contract awarded on 31st March 2026. The procurement method was limited, utilising an award procedure without prior publication due to its nature as a repetition of existing services.

The awarded contract, valued at £46,911, presents business growth opportunities primarily for well-established healthcare service providers, such as Health Assured Limited in Manchester, which emerged as the successful supplier. Businesses that can deliver service continuity and have a track record with NHS Trusts are particularly suited to compete for tenders of this nature, where direct awards are involved.
