UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured additional occupational health physician resources to cover increased Lead Employer demand. The requirement is for professional occupational health services, supporting the Trust’s workforce and the organisations for which it acts as lead employer. The procurement is classified as health services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at Whiston Hospital in Prescot. This is a specialist clinical services requirement rather than a purchase of medical equipment, facilities management or general staffing. Suppliers with occupational health physician capacity and the ability to provide services across the required delivery area would be relevant to this buyer and requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the single lot is complete. The contract was awarded to Smart Occupational Health Ltd, an Oldham-based supplier. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 September 2026. Its value is £45,000 gross, VAT exempt. The procedure was a below-threshold procurement using an unspecified method. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement for health services, and relates to the Trust’s additional occupational health physician resource for increased Lead Employer demand. This outcome shows a short-term, single-supplier arrangement serving the Trust’s immediate occupational health capacity needs.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for additional occupational health physician capacity to support increased Lead Employer activity. A credible future competitor would need appropriately qualified occupational health physicians, the operational capacity to provide additional clinical resource, and systems capable of supporting an NHS teaching hospital trust and its lead-employer responsibilities. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist provider can satisfy this type of requirement, rather than the work necessarily requiring a large national healthcare group. Relevant suppliers should be able to deliver professional occupational health services reliably across the required United Kingdom delivery area and respond to short-term capacity requirements.
