## Summary

Sefton Council procured temporary occupational health adviser cover for a physician. The requirement is a health and social work service supporting the council’s occupational health function. It is a service rather than a goods or works contract, and the stated scope is focused on providing temporary professional cover. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer and the selected provider is Nation occupational health ltd, an SME based in Wilmslow. The requirement may be relevant to occupational health providers able to supply adviser cover for public-sector employers, particularly businesses with access to suitably qualified occupational health personnel and experience supporting clinical or workplace health services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one completed lot. Nation occupational health ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. Its value is £126,735 excluding VAT and £152,082 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome does not set out a scored evaluation basis. This was a single-supplier award for the temporary occupational health adviser cover requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Sefton Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for temporary occupational health adviser cover for a physician, delivered through a below-threshold direct route and at a substantial service scale. A credible competitor would need to provide occupational health services and secure suitably qualified adviser capacity for temporary deployment. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller provider rather than only by a large national organisation. Relevant businesses should therefore focus on occupational health capability, dependable clinical resourcing and the ability to support a council employer’s workplace health needs.
