This procurement process, classified under company health services, is in the Tender stage and is open until 6th April 2021. The contract, valued at £330,000, is set to commence on 1st July 2021 and will extend until 30th June 2024. Interested parties should register through the South East Business Portal to receive updates, as failure to do so may result in missed communication regarding the tender. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in occupational health and employee assistance services, particularly those that can provide comprehensive health and welfare solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement method follows an open procedure that invites a broad range of suppliers. Companies offering services such as pre-employment screening, counselling, and health promotion will find this procurement suitable for their expertise, allowing them to expand their client base and contribute to the wellbeing of the workforce in Bracknell. ## Notice As part of our service offering to ensure a high performing and healthy workforce, the Council offers an Occupational Health (OH) service as well as an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). It supports staff both at Bracknell Forest Council and in schools with their wellbeing and attendance at work. There is a need to re-procure a full employee health and welfare service as current arrangements finish at end of June 2021. The OH service is a key component of our managing sickness absence policy, which keeps employee's sickness absence to a minimum and facilitates early return to work. It also ensures that the Council meets certain statutory requirements. Services undertaken by OH include pre-employment screening, sickness referrals, ill-health retirements, guidance and advice and health surveillance, e.g. statutory hearing tests, night worker assessments as well as immunisation, disablement advice, home visits, emergency planning advice, health related risk assessments, training and advice services, and health promotions when required. The EAP service includes one-to-one counselling and self-help guidance and support to employees. Full details of the tender are available on South East Business Portal, https://sebp.due-north.com In order to receive any clarifications or changes to tender documents organisations must register their interest on the portal. The Council will not be held responsible for not communicating important information to any organisation who has not officially registered their interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65ae83c8-b770-45cd-b0c5-9c00311ff9a6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 6 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2021 - 30 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £330,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRACKNELL FOREST BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BRACKNELL | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG12 1JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ15 Berkshire East | | Local authority | Bracknell Forest | | Electoral ward | Town Centre & The Parks | | Westminster constituency | Bracknell | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85147000 - Company health services - 85312310 - Guidance services ## Release History - 4 Mar 2021 at 16:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65ae83c8-b770-45cd-b0c5-9c00311ff9a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/65ae83c8-b770-45cd-b0c5-9c00311ff9a6 4th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk - https://sebp.due-north.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
