This procurement process, titled "HFL Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme - Framework", falls under the services industry category and is being conducted using an open procedure. The tender is currently in the active stage, with key dates including the enquiry period ending on 21 August 2026, the tender submission deadline set for 8 September 2026, and the award expected to be concluded by 2 October 2026. Interested parties can find submission details on the Herts for Learning education portal, with services to be delivered within the UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering occupational health and employee assistance programmes. It is an excellent opportunity for well-established companies with the requisite skills, infrastructure, and quality control measures to engage in a robust framework agreement. With a focus on both price and quality, the framework allows for multiple suppliers under different lots, including fixed price and pay-as-you-use services. Companies that can demonstrate a strong management capacity and high-quality service delivery in these areas can leverage this tender to expand their footprint in the educational sector across the United Kingdom. ## Notice This Multi Supplier Framework is for Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme Services to be provided for Schools and Education Settings. HFL is seeking suitably qualified and experienced Suppliers to provide high quality Services supported by robust management and quality control processes. As this is a Framework and not a Contract for services, the outcome of this process will not be an immediate purchase, but instead we will provide the information to schools and education settings when they approach us to purchase OH and EAP solutions. Details of the mechanisms for calling off the framework are found within the Framework Agreement document, provided in draft with this tender pack. Tenderers will need to demonstrate that they have the requisite skills, infrastructure, resources and procedures already in place to perform the Contract to the standard required by HFL. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Occupational Health Fixed Price Service Lot 2 Employee Assistance Programme Fixed Price Service Lot 3 Combind Occuptional Health and Employee Assistance Programme Fixed Price Service Lot 4 Occupational Health Pay as you Use Service ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074085-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 8 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2027 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HERTS FOR LEARNING LIMITED | | Locality | STEVENAGE | | Post town | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG1 3EE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Stevenage | | Electoral ward | Old Town | | Westminster constituency | Stevenage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 5 Aug 2026 at 10:30 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074085-2026 - 5 Aug 2026 at 10:24 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074077-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074085-2026 5th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074077-2026 5th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/educationportal/ - https://www.hfleducation.org/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
