UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned additional healthcare services for operational firefighters. The aim is to prevent sickness absence through preventative support and to reduce the duration of absence through proactive diagnosis and treatment pathways. The work is company health provision, delivered in Surrey, covering the areas represented by Reigate and Surrey Heath. This is a single service requirement rather than a package divided into separate lots. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local authority, and the selected provider is a healthcare organisation. The requirement focuses on the health needs of operational firefighters and on helping them remain fit for duty and return to work sooner when illness occurs.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to The Benenden Healthcare Society Limited. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £68,000 excluding VAT (£81,600 including VAT). The procurement is described as below threshold, with the specific procedure not identified. It comprised one lot, and the award is active. The published details do not state separate scoring criteria or supplier eligibility conditions. The selected supplier is responsible for the healthcare provision across the requirement, which falls within company health services. The contract period and value relate to the single awarded contract; the process has reached its outcome rather than remaining at a pre-award stage.

For healthcare providers serving public-sector workforces, this award demonstrates demand for targeted occupational health support for operational firefighters. A credible competitor would need to deliver preventative interventions alongside prompt diagnosis and treatment pathways, with the ability to address both avoidance of sickness absence and shorter periods away from duty. Experience working with physically demanding operational roles would be relevant, as would sufficient clinical capacity to provide coordinated support across the areas served by Surrey County Council. Providers should be able to align healthcare delivery with workforce availability and the practical needs of frontline fire and rescue staff. The award went to a large healthcare organisation, indicating that the buyer selected an established provider for this defined service requirement; the opportunity is focused on occupational health provision rather than general healthcare.
