This tender falls under the health and social work services category, with a focus on providing essential support to employees posted overseas and those based in the UK. Supplier engagement events will be hosted online on the 25th and 28th of October, 2021, where potential suppliers can participate in one-on-one meetings to understand the requirements better. Interested suppliers are required to register by 5 PM on the 22nd of October and are encouraged to use the Jaggaer e-procurement portal for this process. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in Employee Assistance Programmes, particularly those with capabilities to operate both in the UK and internationally, given the global presence of the FCDO. Companies with a robust network of local affiliates who can provide confidential counselling and support services are ideally suited to compete. The contract will not only help improve the wellbeing of consular staff but also allows successful bidders to expand their portfolio in the public sector, enhancing their profile and service outreach. ## Notice The requirement is for the provision of an all-inclusive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and FCDO Services (FCDOS). ### Lot Information Lot 1 The FCDO and FCDO Services (the Authority) are looking for an all-inclusive Employee Assistance Programme to cover officers and qualifying adult dependants who are posted to our Embassies and High Commissions overseas and for officers only who are based in the UK.

We are seeking a provider who will be responsive and able to deploy in-country Counsellors when requested. We expect this opportunity will be of interest to providers of Employee Assistance Programmes in not only the UK but also who have a worldwide network of affiliates who are able to provide the service across the FCDO/FCDO Services overseas network. Also included in this requirement is the Wellbeing Supervision Programme (WSP), which provides the global network of Consular staff in public facing roles quarterly (and on demand where necessary) individual sessions with clinical supervisors to support their wellbeing. These sessions give consular staff the opportunity to regularly discuss the challenging and often distressing nature of their work, and are designed to help them acquire tools for resilience when managing the complex casework they face. The Contracting Authority intends to use an e-tendering system for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026031-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Nov 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOREIGN COMMONWEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 18 Oct 2021 at 21:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026031-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/fcdo - https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
