## Summary

Wealden District Council bought occupational health services for its employees and prospective employees, using an appointed external provider. The scope covers pre-employment health assessments, medical referrals and ill-health determinations. It may also include counselling, vaccination services and health screening, so the requirement is relevant to occupational health providers able to deliver both employment-related assessments and wider workplace health support. The buyer is Wealden District Council, based in Hailsham, East Sussex. The procurement is categorised as health services. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot covering the full occupational health provision rather than separate lots for individual service types.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was signed on 22 May 2026 and runs from 24 May 2026 to 24 May 2028, with an option for one further 12-month extension by written notice on the same terms. The contract value is £29,166.67 excluding VAT and £35,000 including VAT. COPE Occupational Health Services Limited was awarded the contract for the single lot, under a below-threshold limited competition. The resulting contract is active. The published outcome identifies the services and successful supplier, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for an occupational health provider supporting a local authority workforce and recruitment process. Businesses competing for similar work would need to provide pre-employment assessments, medical referrals and ill-health determinations reliably, with the clinical expertise and processes to support employment decisions. The potential wider scope favours providers able to add counselling, vaccination and health-screening services rather than offering assessment work alone. Credible competitors would also need sufficient operational capacity to manage referrals and appointments for council employees and prospective employees, maintain consistent service delivery through an external-provider model, and present a clear, joined-up occupational health offer for a public-sector workforce.

## Notice
