Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited is buying health surveillance services for its workforce. The requirement covers health and safety services and consultancy, health and first-aid training, and health services, with the provider expected to deliver a priced solution in line with the buyer’s service specification and contract terms. Thirteen is a housing provider operating across the North East and Yorkshire, managing around 35,000 homes. The work therefore supports the organisation’s housing and community services across that area. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. The stated subject is occupational health surveillance; the detailed mix of assessments, tests or training is governed by the buyer’s specification.

The procurement has been awarded to Medacs Healthcare Limited, following an open procedure. The award is dated 26 October 2026 and is valued at £1,416,000 gross. The award record gives a contract period from 10 November 2026 to 9 November 2029, with two optional 24-month extensions; the maximum possible end date is 9 November 2033. The tender’s evaluation weighted the quality submission at 80% and price at 20%. Twelve bids reached the final stage, including nine from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as pending, with a standstill period ending 4 November 2026 and contract signature scheduled by 9 November 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from a large housing provider for workforce health surveillance, alongside related health and safety consultancy and health or first-aid training. A credible future competitor would need to deliver a service tailored to the buyer’s specification, price it accurately, and show strong quality evidence: quality accounted for most of the evaluation score, while cost remained part of the decision. The contract is demand-driven, and the buyer notes that demand can increase significantly in some circumstances, so suppliers need the capacity to respond to variable workloads. Competition included both large and smaller suppliers, indicating that the requirement attracted a range of business sizes. Relevant providers are those able to support a housing organisation operating across the North East and Yorkshire, rather than suppliers offering unrelated health services.
