Summary of the contracting process

Affinity Water Limited is procuring occupational health and associated employee wellbeing services for its workforce. The requirement covers occupational health advice and case management, management referrals, fitness-for-work assessments, absence management and return-to-work guidance. It also includes pre-employment screening, safety-critical medicals, health surveillance clinics delivered on site, and management advice by telephone and email. Additional services include an Employee Assistance Programme, counselling and mental health support, musculoskeletal support, physiotherapy, health assessments, “Know Your Numbers” initiatives, awareness campaigns, employee engagement, display-screen-equipment assessments and workplace adjustment assessments. This is a company health services requirement (CPV 85147000), delivered across Affinity Water’s operational area in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk, London and Kent. The buyer is Affinity Water Limited.

The procurement has reached tender: Affinity Water invited suppliers to register and submit a Selection Questionnaire under a selective competitive flexible procedure. Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to submit an invitation-to-tender proposal, followed by evaluation and clarification meetings; negotiation and best-and-final offers may be used. Suppliers must confirm their intention to participate and register on the In-tend portal by 12:00 on 15 September 2026. The single lot has an estimated value of £800,000 excluding VAT (£960,000 including VAT). The initial contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend for up to five further years, giving a maximum term to 31 March 2035. Evaluation is 70% commercial and 30% technical. Award is due by 1 April 2027.

This opportunity suits occupational health providers able to deliver an integrated workforce health service rather than a single clinical activity. Relevant capability includes occupational health case management, management referrals, fitness-for-work and return-to-work advice, pre-employment screening, safety-critical medicals and planned health surveillance clinics. Providers should also be able to offer management consultation, employee assistance, counselling and mental health support, physiotherapy and musculoskeletal services. Experience delivering workplace wellbeing programmes, health assessments, awareness campaigns and employee engagement activity is relevant, as is the ability to carry out display-screen-equipment and workplace adjustment assessments. Suppliers need sufficient clinical and operational capacity for both on-site activity and remote telephone or email advice across Affinity Water’s operational area, and must be prepared for electronic procurement, clarification meetings and possible negotiation.
