Company health services

Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") in relation to the provision of Joint Occupational Health (JOH) & Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. The Council currently has separate contracts for the provision of Occupational Health Services and an Employee Assistance Programme. These contracts are both due to end in 3.2019. It has been agreed to explore the options to re-tender the requirements under a revised model. Further details can be seen in the project brief in the PPME Document.
