The contracting process has reached the award stage, identifying Tide Medical Limited as the successful supplier for both Lot 1: North and Lot 2: South. The awarded contracts, which total a value of £360,000, commence on 20th May 2026 and will run until 31st March 2028, with an optional extension to 2029. The procurement method followed an open procedure, providing fair competition opportunities for businesses in the 'Company Health Services' sector. This tender creates significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in occupational health services to demonstrate their capabilities in enhancing employee wellness, which is crucial for productivity and reduced absenteeism. The focus on high-quality service provision, combined with the potential for contract renewal, allows businesses to build strong, ongoing partnerships with public authorities like East Suffolk Council. Companies with expertise in comprehensive health assessments, robust methodologies, and data protection practices will be well-suited to engage and excel in this contract. ## Notice East Suffolk Council ("ESC", "the Council") is looking to procure a provider of Occupational Health Services to work collaboratively with us, offering professional support and advice to complement our absence management policies and procedures and health and wellbeing agenda. The Council considers the health and wellbeing of staff to be paramount in delivering high quality services. Achieving a balance between the needs of our employees and the delivery of the organisation's objectives is not always easy. Sickness absence accounts for a considerable proportion of lost working time and the average cost of absence is significant. The Council's aim is to reduce this by investing in an occupational health provision that is flexible and robust enough to meet our organisation's needs, providing a locally based service for our officers. ### Lot Information Lot 1: North Renewal: Further optional extension of 12 months. Lot 2: South Renewal: Further optional extension of 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046763-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | 19 May 2026 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | £300,000 | | Awards value | £300,000 | | Contracts value | £300,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST SUFFOLK COUNCIL | | Locality | WOODBRIDGE | | Post town | Ipswich | | Postcode | IP12 1RT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Melton | | Westminster constituency | Suffolk Coastal | | Delivery location | TLH14 Suffolk CC | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TIDE MEDICAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85147000 - Company health services ## Release History - 21 May 2026 at 08:09 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046763-2026 - 11 Feb 2026 at 11:37 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012304-2026 - 5 Dec 2025 at 09:53 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079996-2025 - 28 Nov 2025 at 10:44 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077985-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046763-2026 21st May 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012304-2026 11th February 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079996-2025 5th December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077985-2025 28th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/eastsuffolk Full tender documentation available free of charge at the above address. ## Notice URLs - http://www.eastsuffolk.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
