## Summary

The Luton & Dunstable Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently seeking tenders for the provision of an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) service. This procurement falls under the health services category, with the contract anticipated to last for an initial period of two years, potentially extendable to a maximum of seven years based on quality or cost justification. The procurement method is open, and interested parties must submit their proposals by the end date of 27th November 2015. The contract is set to commence in February 2016 and will be executed in Luton, South East England, with a total contract value of £70,000.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in employee wellbeing services, particularly those that can offer innovative EAP solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, given the openness of the procurement process. Providers with experience in delivering comprehensive mental health and support services to public sector organisations will likely find this opportunity particularly relevant as the trust is committed to quality service delivery under budget constraints.

## Notice

Luton & Dunstable University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is looking to award a contract for an EAP service provider to start in January/February 2016. It is anticipated that the contract will be for an initial period of 2 years, with the option to extend on an annual basis to a maximum term of seven years. However, the Trust is prepared to consider an alternative award duration (no longer than seven years) if there justification in terms of either quality or cost. However, this service is funded by charitable funds, and should that funding or an alternative source of funding no longer be available then the Trust reserves the right to terminate at any time with three months notice
