Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Housing Association Ltd procured occupational health services and health promotion for its staff. The scope includes pre-employment screening, absence-management referrals and guidance, ill-health retirement advice, inoculation programmes, health surveillance including vision screening, and health promotion. This is a staff health and occupational medicine service rather than general healthcare provision. Delivery is for the Association’s office and workforce in Selkirk, Scottish Borders. The service falls within occupational health services (CPV 85100000) and related medical services (CPV 85140000). The requirement is a single service covering the Association’s occupational health needs, with additional purchases possible where legislation or changing staff health requirements create a need.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. It attracted four electronic bids, all from SMEs. NHS Borders was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 30 March 2026. The contract value is £118,545, compared with the lot’s estimated value of £71,667. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with renewal provisions after 36 months: a further 12 months and an option for another 12 months, up to a maximum five-year term. Evaluation covered suitability, economic and technical criteria. Bidders needed to provide three similar contracts from the previous five years, with preference for experience with a Scottish registered social landlord, and accept the stated insurance and credit requirements.

This award demonstrates a defined occupational health requirement from a Scottish housing association, with a broad service mix spanning screening, referrals, health surveillance, vaccination and staff wellbeing. Suppliers considering comparable work should be able to provide suitably qualified occupational physicians and nurses, including Faculty of Occupational Medicine qualifications or approved equivalents, HAVS competency and ARTP certification. Ill-health retirement advice must be provided by an independent registered medical practitioner. Credibility also depends on demonstrable occupational health delivery, preferably for a Scottish registered social landlord, supported by qualified staff, management capacity, suitable equipment and environmental controls. Providers should be prepared to evidence professional indemnity and employers’ liability cover, turnover and relevant delivery examples.
