Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is procuring occupational health services for its workforce and organisational needs. The scope includes pre-employment medical checks, medical referrals, ill-health retirement assessments, risk assessments when required, health surveillance and health screening. Screening is to include hearing tests, with vaccination programmes provided as required. This is a healthcare services requirement covering occupational medicine, medical practice, health assessments and related medical analysis. The work will support the council in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Lisburn. Suppliers able to provide a broad occupational health service, rather than a single standalone test or clinic service, are likely to be relevant.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 12:00, and proposals were due by 13 October 2026 at 12:00. Bids had to be submitted electronically through the eTendersNI portal, in English. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 December 2026 to 15 December 2028, with renewal arrangements described as two years plus one year plus one year; the maximum stated end date is 15 December 2030. The gross estimated value is £297,787. Quality accounts for 60% of the evaluation and cost for 40%. The arrangement uses a dynamic purchasing system, and the award decision was due by 31 October 2026.

This opportunity suits occupational health providers, medical practices and healthcare organisations with the clinical capability to deliver employment-related medical assessments and referrals at scale. Relevant expertise includes pre-employment screening, ill-health retirement opinions, workplace risk assessments, health surveillance, hearing testing, vaccination delivery and wider employee health screening. Providers should be able to coordinate several service lines and supply appropriately qualified clinical staff to meet changing council requirements. The requirement may also suit organisations with medical analysis capability and experience supporting public-sector or other large workforces. A broad, dependable service model is more relevant than a provider focused only on one assessment type, test or vaccination programme.
