Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Health Board commissioned a consultant occupational health physician service to support its Occupational Health Team in Carmarthenshire. The work includes fitness-for-work and fitness-to-practise assessments, sickness absence case management, employee self-referrals, health surveillance and ionising radiation medicals. The physician also provides Ill Health Retirement documentation, advice on complex cases, prescribing support and other specialist occupational medicine services as required. The planned workload is approximately one eight-hour day each week, averaging four days per month. This is a specialist clinical service rather than a general workplace health screening contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Insight Health Screening Ltd. The award was made on 22 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 5 October 2026. Its value is £180,000 excluding VAT (£216,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027, with an option to extend for one further year, to 4 October 2028. The single-lot competition used an open procedure below the applicable threshold. Five bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, social value at 20% and commercial factors at 30%. Providers had to meet qualification criteria set out in the tender invitation.

The award shows demand from Hywel Dda University Health Board for regular, specialist occupational physician input to its in-house Occupational Health Team. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need consultant-level occupational medicine capability across fitness-for-work and fitness-to-practise assessments, sickness absence and complex case management, health surveillance, radiation medicals, Ill Health Retirement documentation and prescribing support. The expected commitment is a recurring part-time clinical service, averaging four days a month, so suppliers need capacity to provide consistent physician cover rather than occasional advice alone. The evaluation gave most weight to technical quality, with a substantial social value element as well as price; providers therefore need to demonstrate strong clinical delivery and a clear social value offer, alongside competitive commercial terms. SMEs were considered suitable, and all five final-stage bidders were SMEs.
