UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured occupational health services through the appointment of a specialist supplier. The requirement is for company health services supporting the Council’s occupational health needs. The procurement is classified as services, with the relevant CPV classification 85147000. Delivery is within the Epping Forest District Council area in the United Kingdom. This is a single requirement covering the Council’s occupational health service rather than a wider medical services programme. It is relevant to occupational health providers, employee health businesses and healthcare management organisations able to provide workplace health services to a public-sector employer. The selected supplier, Innovate Healthcare Management Group Limited, is an SME based in Stockport.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Innovate Healthcare Management Group Limited. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold and was made without competition. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2028. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT, or £57,600 including VAT. One 12-month extension is possible, giving a maximum contract end date of 19 August 2029. The contract is active and the award is active. The process used one completed lot covering the occupational health services. The published outcome shows a single supplier for the requirement; no separate competitive evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award confirms that Epping Forest District Council buys occupational health services as a defined company health service requirement, using a below-threshold direct-award route. Competitors seeking similar work from this buyer would need to provide a credible workplace occupational health operation, with the clinical, administrative and account-management capability to support a public-sector workforce. The requirement also indicates that a supplier must be able to deliver a sustained service rather than a short one-off assessment, while accommodating a potential extension. Innovate Healthcare Management Group Limited’s selection shows that an SME healthcare management provider can serve this requirement. Occupational health providers with comparable delivery capacity, relevant company-health experience and a clear public-sector service model would be the closest competitors when the requirement returns to market.
