## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust commissioned external occupational health (OH) insourcing services from Staff Health. The requirement was to provide OH services while the Trust had more time to recruit substantive staff, with the intention of reducing the need for external provision. The procurement is categorised as physical wellbeing services (CPV 98330000). The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust serving Mid and South Essex; its address is in Basildon. The service relates to the Trust’s workforce, though the procurement data does not specify delivery sites or a more detailed breakdown of the OH services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Staff Health. The Trust used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 13 October 2026 to 5 April 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). There is one lot, covering the service requirement as a whole. The source describes this as a new contract because the previous contract had been fully spent and its available increase had already been used; this contract was intended to allow time for substantive OH staff to be employed. No separate evaluation criteria are provided.

This award shows demand from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust for external occupational health capacity as a bridge while it recruits its own substantive staff. A credible provider for a similar requirement would need to deliver occupational health services reliably enough to support the Trust’s workforce during a defined interim period, and to scale its service to the buyer’s needs. The award went to Staff Health, an SME, demonstrating that this type of service was supplied by a smaller provider. The Trust used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this contract, so the award does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation model or published technical qualifications. Suppliers with relevant OH delivery capability and the capacity to provide temporary external cover are the closest fit to the requirement shown.
