## Summary

North Ayrshire Council, in collaboration with East Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Council, has awarded a contract for the "Working for a Healthy Economy (Provision of Clinical Health Interventions)" project. The initiative is aimed at providing occupational health services to support economic growth in Ayrshire by helping unemployed residents overcome health barriers to employment, aiding employed residents in retaining their jobs, and assisting local businesses in improving workforce retention and productivity. The awarded contract to Salus Return to Work Services, valued at £2,895,968, is set to commence in July 2024 and will run for 2 years and 9 months, with an option to extend for up to an additional 24 months. This open procedure, classified under the industry category 'General public services', involves service delivery across East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire, and South Ayrshire regions.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in clinical health interventions, occupational health services, and workforce health management to expand their operations and impact. Companies with expertise in delivering health services, especially those capable of addressing health barriers to employment for both unemployed and employed individuals, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The nature of the work, along with the potential to benefit from future extension options, provides a solid foundation for sustained business growth. Firms with robust quality management and health and safety procedures, as well as those holding relevant educational and professional qualifications, are particularly well-positioned to participate in this opportunity.
