UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is procuring occupational health services for approximately 9,000 employees across its councils. The purpose is to harmonise existing arrangements into one UKRI-wide occupational health provision. This is a health services contract delivered across the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd is managing the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. The requirement covers a single service lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should review the request for proposals, questions and contract documents to understand the required service model, technical response and commercial arrangements. The work is relevant to occupational health providers able to support a large, dispersed public-sector workforce through a unified national service.

The process reached tender: UKRI invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. Enquiries closed on 17 July 2026 at 11:00. The tender deadline, as extended, is 30 July 2026 at 16:00, with submissions required through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. The estimated value is £1,250,000 excluding VAT, or £1,500,000 including VAT. The contract is expected to run from 11 September 2026 to 11 September 2029, with an option to extend for a further two years, to a maximum extent of 3 September 2031. The award decision is due by 24 August 2026. Evaluation is 80% technical quality and 20% commercial price. Stage 2 involves structured demonstrations for invited bidders.

This opportunity suits established occupational health providers with the operational capacity to serve approximately 9,000 employees across the UK and to replace separate council arrangements with a consistent UKRI-wide service. Suppliers should be able to present a credible technical solution, explain how it will be implemented and managed across a dispersed workforce, and support a structured demonstration if invited to the second stage. The evaluation places substantially greater emphasis on technical quality than price, so bidders will need strong evidence of service capability, delivery arrangements and quality. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist providers as well as larger organisations, provided they can manage the scale and national reach involved.
