Summary of the contracting process

Kingston University Higher Education Corporation is seeking a provider for student occupational health services. The work covers initial health assessments to determine whether students are fit to study on relevant courses, referrals during their courses, an immunisation and vaccination programme, and pathology services. This is a healthcare services requirement, including occupational health assessments, nursing advice, vaccination and laboratory testing. The work supports students undertaking courses where health assessments and related occupational health arrangements are required. The buying organisation is Kingston University, based in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, covering the full described service package.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 27 November 2026 at 15:00, and the deadline for questions was 11 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2030, with an option to renew for up to two further years, to a latest end date of 30 April 2032. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). Evaluation assigns 70% to quality, covering scope, service quality and delivery, understanding of requirements and experience, and 30% to price. The anticipated award decision date was 15 March 2027.

This opportunity suits providers able to deliver a coordinated student occupational health service across assessment, referral, immunisation and pathology work. Strong bids will need to show how they will assess students for relevant courses, manage referrals during study, run a vaccination programme and provide pathology services, while maintaining appropriate service quality and delivery. The evaluation places most weight on the quality of the proposed service, including the supplier’s understanding of Kingston University’s requirements and relevant experience; pricing is also assessed. Suppliers with established healthcare teams, access to occupational health expertise and the operational capacity to provide the complete service package are well placed to compete. The requirement is for a university-wide service delivered for Kingston University in Kingston upon Thames.
