## Summary

Blackpool Council has completed a procurement process for the YPO Framework 1101 Further Competition - Lot 2 Employee Assistance Programme, targeting the company health services sector. This process was conducted under a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of the directive. The contract was awarded to Health Assured Limited, a large enterprise located in Manchester, for services aimed at supporting approximately 5,500 employees, also extending access to other organisations and academies. The procurement, managed within the UKD42 region, saw active completion with the contract being signed on 30th May 2025, after receiving bids valued between £120,000 and £180,000. The procurement stage is now at an award phase, marking the conclusion of a process that involved a weighted award criteria focusing on quality, social value, and price.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the health services industry, especially those specialising in employee assistance programmes. Companies that focus on delivering high-quality, competitively priced health services with added social value have a competitive edge. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged, given that half of the bids were from SMEs, demonstrating that smaller firms also have a fair chance of competing. With regional authorities like Blackpool Council actively seeking partnerships for comprehensive employee support services, businesses that can provide robust, scalable solutions are well-positioned to expand their market share and establish valuable relationships with public sector buyers.
