This tender falls within the health services category and is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 10 April 2018. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1 May 2018 and will run until 30 April 2020, with a total estimated value of £55,000. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, allowing for wider participation from suitable suppliers. This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in occupational health services, particularly those with a track record of providing high-quality and responsive healthcare support. Suppliers capable of delivering efficient service tailored to the needs of a diverse workforce, including remote access for 600 managers nationally, would find themselves well-positioned to compete. The focus on pre-employment health checks and ongoing support indicates a demand for experienced providers who can effectively address both immediate and long-term health management challenges within the organisation. ## Notice Housing & Care 21 has over 3500 employees, with an average of 13.7% day's absence per employee within the last 12 month period. This includes both short term and long term sickness, with short term at 3.5% days absent per employee. An Occupational Health service is vital in assisting Housing and Care 21 in managing the sickness absence (both short term and long term) within the organisation and to provide assistance with pre-employment health checks prior to candidates commencing employment. The service provided will be for employees, managers and the Employee Relations and HR Team who assist managers in dealing with sickness absence. We have 600 managers working nationally across the organisation who will need to be able to access the OH Service in order to manage the sickness absence of their teams. The service therefore needs to be accessible, easy to use and efficient. The objective of this tender is to appoint a suitable, experienced supplier to provide a cost effective, high quality and reliable service for Occupational Health. It is expected that the chosen supplier will be responsive and thorough in their dealings with Housing & Care 21 management and staff and hold the required level of experience, knowledge and expertise to provide the support and advice necessary.
