## Summary

Norse Commercial Services Ltd contracted for employee assistance programme (EAP) services for its workforce. The service sits within employee wellbeing and occupational health support, with healthcare-related administration. Delivery covers England across the East Midlands, East of England, London, North East, North West, South East and South West. The requirement is for an ongoing staff support service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. Health Assured Limited is the selected provider. The buyer is Norse Commercial Services Ltd, a public undertaking based in Norwich.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Norse Commercial Services Ltd used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Health Assured Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with a one-year renewal option and a maximum extent to 1 November 2029. The contract value is £52,852.20 excluding VAT and £63,422.64 including VAT. The award is active; the available details do not set out a scored evaluation basis, as the procurement proceeded without competition.

For suppliers of employee assistance and workforce wellbeing services, this award demonstrates that Norse Commercial Services buys an EAP for employees across a broad English footprint. A credible competitor would need the capacity to support a geographically dispersed workforce and deliver employee-facing assistance alongside relevant health and administrative services. Health Assured Limited, a large supplier, was selected through a direct award rather than a competitive process, so this outcome does not establish a published set of scored criteria or qualifications. Suppliers positioning for a similar requirement should be able to demonstrate dependable service delivery at this multi-region scale and relevant experience providing EAP support to an employer. The contract includes a renewal option, so the buyer’s demand may extend beyond the initial term.
