## Summary

The South West Police Procurement Department (SWPPD) is currently conducting a tender for an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), aimed at providing welfare assistance and support to staff and their families across five Police Forces in the South West Region of the United Kingdom, including Avon & Somerset, Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire. This procurement process is in the planning stage, with an open procedure method. The tender period is set to end on 31st March 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2017, lasting until 30th June 2020. The main industry category is health and social work services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social services sector, particularly those that offer guidance and counselling services or welfare services not delivered through residential institutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity particularly accessible, as the procurement is open to various service providers. The focus on reducing absenteeism by providing prompt support may also attract businesses with expertise in employee wellness and mental health services, enabling them to create a lasting impact within the police community.

## Notice

The primary purpose of the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is 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. This contract is for the provision of services for the five Police Forces in the South West Region (namely Avon & Somerset, Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire). The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=19245&B=BLUELIGHT
