## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation has completed the award stage of its procurement process for the provision of Occupational Health Services. This contract is aimed at supporting healthcare students with initial health clearance and ongoing health management during their clinical placements. This procurement falls under the services category within the public authority sector and is categorised under the 'company health services' industry classification, linked with the CPV code 85147000. The awarded contract to Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust began on 18 March 2026 and is set to conclude by 31 August 2026. Although the procurement method details are stated as below the threshold and unknown, it adheres to a light-touch regime, indicating a streamlined procurement process tailored for the sector. The tender process has been completed, and it aligns with the operation of the academic year, ensuring timely service provision for student enrolment periods.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale healthcare providers specialising in Occupational Health Services. Businesses capable of delivering comprehensive screening, vaccination services, and health management on a continual basis throughout the academic year are well-positioned to compete. The need for a reliable and continuous service to accommodate a growing number of healthcare students underscores the substantial value of this contract, exemplified by its gross amount of £300,000. Providers in the company health services sector with experience in educational institutions could find potential collaborations with universities highly advantageous, allowing for service expansion and increased revenue intake. Competing firms should be poised to manage service level agreements (SLAs) based on fluctuating student numbers and ensure rigorous adherence to deadlines, facilitating both initial health clearance and ongoing support efficiently.

## Notice

The University of Portsmouth requires a comprehensive Occupational Health (OH) service to provide both initial health clearance and ongoing support to healthcare students undertaking programmes that include clinical placements. This service encompasses pre-placement OH screening, required vaccinations, and the management of any health-related issues arising while students are engaged in practical training. Due to significant growth in healthcare-related programmes, the number of students requiring OH assessment and support has increased over recent academic years, resulting in a service provision of substantial value. A reliable and continuous OH service is essential to ensure students are cleared within appropriate timeframes to commence their placements. Any interruption or delay in service delivery would risk students being unable to attend placements, which would negatively impact their progression. The service operates on an annual cycle aligned to the academic year. Planning typically begins in April, with operational activity commencing in July to prepare for student enrolment in September. Service delivery continues throughout the year, providing both initial screening and the ongoing management of health issues that emerge during placement activity. The requirement is delivered via annual Service Level Agreements (SLAs), based on actual student numbers for each academic cohort. The University is placing this extension while we review our OH provision across the University for both Students and Staff with a view of retendering before the end of 2026.
