## Summary

The Department for Education procured an employee assistance programme, classified under business and management consultancy and related services. The service is intended to support the department’s workforce across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a national employee-support requirement rather than a location-specific service. PAM Wellbeing Ltd, based in Warrington, was selected as the supplier. The procurement is categorised as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, whose headquarters are in London.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PAM Wellbeing Ltd on 27 February 2025. The award value is £149,000. The contract period runs from 31 May 2025 to 31 March 2028. It was conducted as a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an unrestricted tender. The tender submission deadline was 20 February 2025 at 5pm. The published information identifies the service category and framework route, while the award records one supplier for the requirement. The award is active and the tender status is complete. No separate lots or additional awarded suppliers are identified.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for a nationally delivered employee assistance programme covering all English regions. Suppliers considering comparable public-sector work would need a credible employee-support service capable of operating across a dispersed workforce and delivering consistently at national scale. Experience in employee assistance programmes, workforce wellbeing or related business and management consultancy would be relevant to the requirement. Small and medium-sized businesses are explicitly considered suitable, so the opportunity is not limited to large providers. Competitors would also need to understand how to access and compete through framework call-offs, since this buyer used that route. PAM Wellbeing Ltd’s selection shows that an SME provider can satisfy this type of requirement.
