## Summary

Social Work England, a central government authority located in Sheffield, UK, has completed the procurement process for the provision of medical assessment services under the tender ID SWE10562. The procurement followed an open procedure to address concerns about the fitness to practise of social workers, particularly in cases involving mental or physical health issues. UK Independent Medical Services Limited has been awarded the contract, active from 7th April 2026 to 6th April 2029, with a potential extension of up to 24 months. The contract is valued at £400,000 with a gross amount of £480,000 and encompasses service delivery across multiple regions in the United Kingdom.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and legal advisory services. Organisations with expertise in medical assessments and report generation can leverage this tender to expand their service offerings and gain strategic partnerships with public sector agencies. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on quality assurance, compliance, and the ability to meet stringent reporting standards are particularly well-suited to compete effectively in such tenders, offering a pathway to sustainable business growth through long-term governmental contracts.

## Notice

As part of its statutory duty to investigate concerns about the fitness to practise of social workers, Social Work England may, where appropriate, require registrants to undergo a medical assessment, particularly in cases where concerns relate to a registrant's mental or physical health. As Social Work England does not possess the internal capacity to deliver these specialist services, it is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced Service Provider to work in partnership to deliver a high-quality and robust Medical Assessment Service. The appointed provider will be responsible for conducting comprehensive medical assessments and producing clear, quantifiable, evidence-based reports that determine whether a registrant's mental and/or physical health may be impaired to the extent that it could affect their fitness to practise. Experts may also be required, when necessary, to provide witness testimony in fitness to practise hearings.
