## Summary

Blackpool Council, as the buying organisation, has successfully completed the award stage of a public procurement for an Employee Assistance Programme under the YPO Framework 1101, specifically Lot 2. The procurement falls within the category of company health services, with an estimated value of £180,000. The services will be provided to approximately 5,500 employees, as well as available to other organisations and academies purchasing the authority's Occupational Health Services. The contract was awarded on 30th May 2025 to Health Assured Limited, a large-scale supplier, and spans from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2029. The services will be delivered across England, United Kingdom, marking the completion of the further competition process initiated earlier with the tender period closing on 1st April 2025.

This procurement brings substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in corporate health and employee wellness services. With a focus on SMEs, as indicated in the suitability criteria, smaller enterprises have the potential to capitalise on such tenders and expand their footprint in the public sector. Businesses capable of delivering comprehensive health assistance programmes could benefit from engaging with similar frameworks, offering scalable solutions that align with the needs of public bodies like Blackpool Council. This tender underscores the importance of a robust service offering and the ability to meet diverse organisational requirements in the competitive landscape of public procurement.
