Lot Information
Lot 1
This Specification sets out Orkney Islands Council (the Authority) requirements for the provision of a formal Occupational Health Service with the clear priority duty of the contractor being to provide advice to the Authority and/or employees rather than the provision of treatment. Orkney is located off the northern coast of the Scottish mainland and covers 100,000 hectares spread over approximately 70 islands, 19 of which are inhabited by a population of approximately 22,400. The Authority was established as a Unitary Authority in 1974 and is the islands largest employer with 2,770 employees (1,709 Full Time Equivalents). The Authority currently provides a full range of statutory and non-statutory services to the community through 4 services: Education, Leisure and Housing (including UHI Orkney); Strategy, Performance and Business Solutions; Neighbourhood Services and Infrastructure; Enterprise and Sustainable Regeneration and Orkney Health and Care. Additionally, the Authority also operates Orkney Ferries as an arms-length Company, with a separate management board, which for the purposes of this tender should be considered as part of the Authority. The current Council Occupational Health service is provided on a 'pay as you go' basis and is provided through a local independent Occupational Health Doctor and a combination of ad hoc service provision via TAC Healthcare based in Aberdeen.. The contract duration and contract value are based on an initial contract period of 36 months with an authority held option to extend by a further 2 x 12 month periods.
Renewal: This is a continuing requirement with a new procurement exercise due to commence in spring summer 2029
