Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited commissioned occupational health, health declaration support and cognitive behavioural therapy services for its workforce. The requirement combines workplace health provision and support with CBT, under a single service contract. Thirteen is a housing provider which owns and manages 35,000 homes across the North East and Yorkshire, and provides housing and support services to local communities. The contract serves the organisation’s needs across its operating area; Middlesbrough is its registered office. Suppliers specialising in occupational health, employee health support or cognitive behavioural therapy are the closest fit, particularly those able to deliver a joined-up service for a large housing organisation operating across multiple communities.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Marie Church Cognitive Behavioural Services. The award is recorded as pending. The award date was 23 October 2026 and its value is £462,720. The stated contract period runs from 10 November 2026 to 9 October 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions and a possible end date of 9 October 2030. Thirteen used an open procedure for a single lot. Bids were assessed on quality, weighted at 80%, and price, weighted at 20%. The tender submission deadline was 23 September 2026; the evaluation period was due to conclude by 23 October 2026. The contract provides for invoices to be paid within 30 days.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Thirteen for a combined occupational health, health declaration support and CBT service. A credible competitor would need to show capability across these service areas and a practical approach to serving a sizeable housing provider with operations across the North East and Yorkshire. The requirement calls for reliable delivery at organisational scale, with capacity to manage changes in demand. The competition attracted ten bids, including six from SMEs, showing that smaller providers participated alongside other suppliers. Quality carried substantially more weight than price, so evidence of service quality and the ability to deliver the full requirement would be important in a comparable competition. The successful provider is a specialist CBT services business.
