Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Health Board is buying a consultant occupational health physician service to support its Occupational Health Team in Wales. The work includes specialist occupational medicine advice and clinical assessments: fitness-for-work and fitness-to-practise assessments, sickness absence case management, self-referrals, health surveillance, ionising radiation medicals, ill-health retirement documentation, complex case advice, prescribing support and other specialist occupational health activity as required. The planned commitment is around one eight-hour day each week, averaging four days a month. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership conducted the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The service is classified as health services (CPV 85100000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Insight Health Screening Limited on 22 September 2026. The awarded value is £180,000 excluding VAT (£216,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027, with an option to extend for one further year, to 4 October 2028. This was a single-lot, below-threshold open competition. Five bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, social value at 20% and commercial price at 30%. Suppliers had to meet qualification criteria set out in the invitation to tender. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026, and the deadline for enquiries was 2 September 2026.

For occupational health providers, this award demonstrates demand from Hywel Dda University Health Board for regular consultant-level clinical input to complement an in-house occupational health team. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need consultant occupational medicine capability across fitness assessments, sickness absence management, health surveillance, ionising radiation medicals, ill-health retirement cases and complex advice, as well as capacity to provide prescribing support and respond to other specialist needs. The work is a modest, recurring weekly commitment rather than a full-time service, so providers able to deliver dependable sessions alongside responsive casework may be well placed. The competition attracted five final-stage bids, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, and gave substantial weight to technical quality and social value as well as price.THOOK
