## Summary

Leicestershire Police has initiated a public procurement process for an Employee Assistance Programme and Professional Support, aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of its personnel and management of attendance. This tender falls under the services sector, specifically classified as guidance and counselling services, with a total contract value of £800,000, of which a minimum of £600,000 is guaranteed. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2020 and will conclude on 31 March 2024. The tender process employed is an open procedure, and it is currently in the award stage, with the contract recently awarded to Health Assured.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and wellbeing sector, particularly those offering counselling and employee support services.

Businesses that prioritise well-being initiatives, promote healthy working environments, or offer qualified staff to provide such services would be especially well-suited for participation in future tenders of this nature.
