## Summary

Suffolk County Council procured occupational health services, employee assistance programmes and associated services for its workforce. The requirement covers health support for employees and is being delivered in Suffolk, within the East of England. The procurement is categorised as health services (CPV 85100000). The council is the buyer, and the selected supplier is Health Partners Group Limited. The requirement was called off from YPO Framework 1101, so it was a framework-based purchase rather than a standalone competition. This is a county council workforce-health contract, relevant to providers able to deliver occupational health and employee assistance services for a public-sector employer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Health Partners Group Limited on 25 August 2026. The award value is £3,360,000. The contract runs from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2030, covering an initial two-year term with an option to extend for up to a further two years. The council used a selective, framework call-off procedure under YPO Framework 1101. The stated submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lots or evaluation criteria are identified in the published process information.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Suffolk County Council’s demand for combined occupational health, employee assistance and related workforce services at county-council scale. A credible competitor would need to provide a coordinated offer across occupational health and employee wellbeing support, with the capacity to serve a public-sector workforce throughout Suffolk. The successful supplier was a large company, indicating that delivery capacity at this scale was achieved by an established provider; however, the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms may also be relevant where they can demonstrate the required service capability and operational reach. The route used was a call-off from YPO Framework 1101, making framework access and the ability to meet its call-off requirements commercially relevant for suppliers targeting this buyer’s requirement.
