## Summary

The South West Police Procurement Department (SWPPD) is currently inviting tenders for the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), aimed at providing rapid access to welfare assistance for staff and their families. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on guidance and counselling services, and is taking place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The open tender method has been adopted, and submissions are due by 12:00 on 10th May 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2021 and continue until 30th June 2024.

This opportunity presents significant potential for providers of counselling and welfare support services, particularly those with experience in addressing psychological health issues, to engage with the public sector. Businesses that specialise in employee assistance services, mental health support, or related guidance services would be well-positioned to compete in this tender. The proactive and reactive nature of the programme underscores the importance of having robust strategies in place to assist organisations in reducing absenteeism among their staff.

## Notice

The South West Regional Police Forces require an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to provide rapid short term access to welfare assistance and support to Staff and their Families. Psychological absence is one of the Forces' largest areas for absence, and therefore requires a proactive and reactive approach, both at work and home whilst also reducing short term and long term absenteeism for the Forces.
