## Summary

The South West Police Procurement Services has launched a contract for an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) aimed at providing welfare assistance to staff and their families, addressing psychological absence issues within the forces. This procurement process is classified under guidance and counselling services and is currently in the Award stage. The contract commenced on 1st July 2021 and will extend until 30th June 2026, with an awarded value of £870,000. The EAP contract is enforced through an open procurement method, which allows for a competitive tendering process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in welfare and mental health services, particularly those that can offer comprehensive guidance and counselling solutions. Companies that are well-positioned to compete include larger service providers with experience in implementing EAPs, especially those capable of delivering both proactive and reactive support for employees, thereby contributing to reduced absenteeism rates. Engaging with this contract may enhance the capacity of suitable firms to grow and expand their reach within the public sector.

## Notice

The South West Regional Police Forces require an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to provide rapid short term access to welfare assistance and support to Staff and their Families. Psychological absence is one of the Forces' largest areas for absence, and therefore requires a proactive and reactive approach, both at work and home whilst also reducing short term and long term absenteeism for the Forces.
