Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority procured an occupational health system for its Occupational Health and Fitness team. The requirement is a software package and information system supporting occupational health activities. Delivery covers Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and surrounding local authority areas served by the buyer. The system is intended for use by the fire authority and its occupational health and fitness function. The selected supplier, Orchid Live (CHI UK Ltd), is based in Wallsend and is classified as an SME. This opportunity is relevant to software providers with an occupational health platform, particularly those able to support employee health, fitness assessment and related occupational health workflows for a public-sector workforce.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, following pre-market engagement and a search of GCloud14; the supplier was selected for system capabilities and best value. The award was made to Orchid Live (CHI UK Ltd) on 21 July 2026. The contract is valued at £120,000 and was signed on 21 July 2026. One bid was recorded. The award covered the occupational health system requirement and was evaluated on price. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active, so the published outcome is an active contract with the selected supplier.

For a future requirement from this fire authority, credible competitors would need a proven occupational health system suited to an Occupational Health and Fitness team, rather than a general-purpose business application. The buyer’s decision indicates that system capabilities and value for money were central, with price used as the award criterion. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant functionality clearly, explain how the system supports occupational health and fitness workflows, and provide evidence that the platform can serve a public-sector workforce across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Experience delivering comparable systems, a straightforward route through a public-sector purchasing framework such as GCloud, and the capacity to implement and support the service would strengthen a competing proposition.
