Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University procured occupational health services and an Employee Assistance Programme for its staff. The requirement covers workplace health support and employee assistance, delivered for the university’s workforce in London. It is a services contract in the health and safety services category (CPV 71317200). The buyer is London Metropolitan University, an education body governed by public law. The requirement was treated as a single package, combining occupational health provision with employee assistance rather than separating these services into distinct areas. Suppliers operating across occupational health and employee wellbeing would therefore be the most directly relevant, particularly those able to support an institutional workforce and coordinate both elements through one service arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the ESPO Framework Reference 985B_23. The requirement was evaluated on price. People Asset Management Limited was selected as the supplier. The awarded contract value is £160,000. The contract was signed on 1 December 2025 and is recorded as active. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award rationale states that the procurement fell outside the scope of the applicable directive. The contracting process therefore records a completed, direct framework-based outcome rather than an open competition.

This procurement indicates established demand from London Metropolitan University for a combined occupational health and Employee Assistance Programme service. A credible future competitor would need to provide both occupational health and employee wellbeing support through a coordinated service, with the operational capacity to serve university staff consistently. The outcome also shows that a smaller supplier, People Asset Management Limited, was selected, so scale alone was not a barrier. Because price was the stated evaluation basis, suppliers would need a cost-efficient delivery model alongside reliable clinical, case-management and employee-support capability. Experience serving an education workforce or another sizeable institutional employer would help demonstrate that the service can be delivered at the required scale.
