UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Associated British Ports (ABP) procured UK-wide occupational health services for its port locations. The scope covers pre-employment medical assessments, including drug and alcohol testing; safety-critical medicals and health surveillance; occupational health referrals and management support; a 24/7 absence-reporting and clinical-advice helpline; onsite Essential Health MOT clinics; physiotherapy; wellbeing campaigns; and general occupational health advice. Services may be delivered face to face, by video or by telephone. The provider must supply and manage an occupational health IT system for appointment booking, reporting, management information and secure personal-data handling. Clinics should be located close to employees’ workplaces or homes to minimise travel and disruption. This is a health services and company occupational health requirement, delivered across ABP’s UK operations.

The procurement has been awarded following an above-threshold open procedure. Latus Group (UK) Ltd was selected on 10 September 2026, with the award recorded as pending during the standstill period ending 21 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,786,207 excluding VAT, or £2,143,448 including VAT. The contract is due to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions taking the maximum end date to 31 December 2031. Bids were assessed on technical quality at 70% and commercial price at 30%. The tender deadline was 19 May 2026 at 1pm, and the evaluation period was due to conclude on 1 September 2026. The procurement comprised one lot.

This award indicates that ABP values a single provider able to deliver consistent occupational health services across a large, geographically dispersed UK port operation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need appropriately qualified occupational health clinicians and the capability to provide pre-employment, safety-critical and surveillance assessments, drug and alcohol testing, referrals, physiotherapy and wellbeing support. It would also need to operate a dependable 24/7 clinical advice and absence-reporting service, alongside face-to-face, video and telephone delivery. Strong local clinic coverage would help limit employee travel and operational disruption. The requirement also favours providers with a secure occupational health IT platform covering bookings, reporting and management information, and with processes aligned to recognised professional standards, ABP’s occupational health policy and data-protection obligations.
