## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Framework Agreement for the Provision of Supplementary Health Care" has been completed by Avon Fire Authority in collaboration with Humberside Fire Authority. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within health services, and is identified by the CPV code 85100000. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, described as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and adheres to the legal basis of CELEX 32014L0024. The process was initiated on 18th December 2024 and concluded with the award being signed on 1st May 2025. This framework agreement was designed to enable separate call-off contracts between each participating authority and the successful contractor within the regions of UKK1 and UKE.

The agreement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those capable of providing supplementary healthcare solutions. Despite the limited procurement method, the requirement of high-quality service and pricing effectiveness (60:40 ratio) suggests that large organisations with an established track record in health provision services, such as the awarded supplier Westfield Contributory Health Scheme Ltd, which is based in Sheffield, will be favourably positioned. Although no bids from SMEs were recorded, the electronic submission of three bids denotes a competitiveness that businesses seeking to engage in similar future opportunities might consider emulating. This type of contract is particularly advantageous for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint within public sector health services across regional authorities in the UK.
