Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has initiated a tender process for the provision of employee physiotherapy services, aimed at supporting approximately 17,500 employees, including those from South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Limited, SEEMIS, and the Lanarkshire Joint Valuation Board. This tender, with an estimated value of £725,000, falls under the general public services industry category and is structured as an open procedure in the services procurement category. Key dates for the procurement process include a tender submission deadline of 28th July 2025, with the potential contract start date aligned with the bid opening date of the same day. The Council, located in Hamilton, UKM95, seeks to ensure continued employee wellbeing through early intervention and recovery support measures, while maintaining financial sustainability.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare, particularly those offering physiotherapy services, to expand their client base within the public sector. Companies with experience in handling large-scale contracts, especially in a public sector context, are well-positioned to compete for this opportunity. The requirement for service providers to outline cost-effective approaches may also encourage innovative solutions that can distinguish a bid. Additionally, firms that demonstrate strong financial standing and have Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) checked staff will find favourable consideration during the selection process. Given the Council's emphasis on quality and price in the award criteria, businesses capable of balancing these aspects stand to gain valuable long-term engagement with their local authority.
