## Summary

Cheshire East Council procured occupational health and wellbeing services for its employees. The requirement falls within health services and covers delivery in the North West of England. The work is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works, and is intended to support the council’s workforce through occupational health and wellbeing provision. Cheshire East Council is based in Crewe and is the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to providers offering employee occupational health, workplace health assessment and related wellbeing services for public sector employers. Organisations able to deliver across the North West, or to support council employees in that area, are the most directly aligned with the stated delivery location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 August 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value was between £284,337 and £379,116, including the stated minimum and maximum values. The contract was awarded to Optima Health Group Limited on 2 September 2026 for £379,116. The tender contract period was stated as 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029; the awarded period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Cheshire East Council for employee occupational health and wellbeing services, procured through a framework call-off. For a future competition, a credible supplier would need established occupational health and workplace wellbeing capability, with the operational capacity to serve a council workforce across the North West. Experience of delivering comparable employee health services for public sector organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The procurement route also shows the practical importance of holding, or partnering through, access to a relevant framework agreement. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be able to compete, provided they can demonstrate reliable service delivery and appropriate capacity.
