This process is tagged under the industry category of miscellaneous health services and operates in several regions across the United Kingdom. The procurement exercise began with a preliminary market engagement, scheduled to culminate on 22 May 2026. The process seeks expressions of interest and views from suppliers regarding the integrated service delivery model. The total estimated value for this procurement stands at £1.8 million gross. Interested parties must submit their completed questionnaire and any supporting documents electronically via the InTend eSourcing Portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services to expand by participating in this consolidated occupational health offering. Companies with experience in delivering health surveillance, assessments, and vaccination services would be particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process acknowledges the suitability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thus fostering inclusivity. The contract, set to commence on 1 January 2027 and last until December 2030, offers the possibility of renewal until the end of 2032, providing sustained business growth potential for qualified suppliers capable of delivering accessible and locally oriented health services to the university's sizeable student and staff population. The engagement seeks to address commercial considerations and optimise service delivery for both academic staff and students, marking a valuable opportunity for contributing expertise to enhance the university's health service provision. ## Notice The University of Portsmouth is undertaking pre-market engagement to seek views from experienced suppliers on a proposal to combine its existing Student and Staff Occupational Health contracts into a single, integrated supplier-delivered service. The University has around 28,000 students and employs around 3,500 staff. This engagement aims to explore the feasibility of this approach, including service delivery models, commercial considerations, and potential benefits for both staff and students. The proposed service would provide a comprehensive occupational health offering for both staff and students, including: - The delivery of occupational health clearance for students, in line with current course-specific occupational health guidance, to support their eligibility to undertake mandatory placement activities. - The provision of occupational health assessments, health surveillance, and vaccination services for staff, aligned with statutory and best-practice occupational health requirements. - Initial and vaccination appointments for students and staff delivered at the University of Portsmouth site. - Accessible facilities and local service provision to ensure that both staff and students can easily access occupational health services within the local area. ### Planning Information The University is using the InTend eSourcing Portal for this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise.
