Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Scotland appointed a single occupational health provider for its complex, multi-site organisation. The service covers reactive occupational health case management and preventative health support, with the purpose of supporting employee health, wellbeing and attendance, informing management decisions and helping the organisation meet statutory obligations. The provider is expected to give practical, actionable clinical advice aligned with operational needs. Delivery is across Edinburgh and the Lothians. This is a public-sector occupational health services requirement, classified under CPV 85100000 and 85147000, with public administration health services classification 75122000. The buyer is National Museums Scotland, a cultural organisation and central purchasing body. The requirement is relevant to occupational health providers able to deliver a responsive service across multiple sites and support both individual cases and wider preventative activity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. One lot was awarded to Agile Occupational Health Ltd, and the contract is active. The contract value is £36,050, against an estimated procurement value of £40,000. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The initial contract period is two years, equivalent to 1,440 days, with an option for review and extension at the end of that period. Bids had to be submitted electronically in English, with variants not allowed. The submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 17:00, and bids were opened on 2 June 2026 at 09:00. Eight bids were received, including four from SMEs; all eight were electronic. Electronic payment and ordering apply, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from National Museums Scotland for a single occupational health partner capable of supporting a complex, multi-site workforce. A credible future competitor would need clinical occupational health capability covering both reactive case management and preventative services, with the responsiveness to support employee wellbeing, attendance and operational decision-making. The service also requires advice that is practical for managers and supports compliance with statutory obligations, rather than clinical input in isolation. Providers should therefore be able to combine robust clinical governance with clear workplace recommendations, reliable case handling and the capacity to work consistently across Edinburgh and the Lothians. The competition attracted eight suppliers, four of them SMEs, showing that the requirement was accessible to established smaller providers as well as larger occupational health organisations.
