## Summary

Social Work England, located in Sheffield, has completed the procurement process for "The Provision of Medical Assessment Services" under an open procedure (below threshold). This procurement, classified under the CPV codes 85121200 (Medical specialist services) and 85148000 (Medical analysis services), aims to deliver robust medical assessment services for investigating social workers' fitness to practice. The tender period concluded on 21st December 2022, with the contract running from 4th March 2023 to 3rd March 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £130,000 GBP, was published on 19th November 2024, and the supplier is UK Independent Medical Services Limited.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in medical assessment services.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses that can provide comprehensive mental and physical health assessments and generate quantifiable evidence to support the decision-making process regarding social workers' fitness to practise.

## Notice

As part of our responsibility to investigate concerns about Social Workers fitness to practise we may require Social Workers to undergo a Medical Assessment where concerns are raised about their health. Social Work England does not have the in-house capability to deliver specialist Services. Therefore, we are looking to contract with a Service Provider who will work in partnership with us deliver a robust Medical Assessment Service and provide quantifiable evidence as to whether a registrant's mental and/or physical health is of sufficient concern as to warrant their fitness to practise impaired.
