What the notice says
Network Rail is seeking to engage with experienced physiotherapy service providers to gather insight on the delivery of work-focused, innovative and proactive physical rehabilitation services aimed at reducing the incidence of musculoskeletal ill health across its workforce. Suppliers are invited to share information on evidence-based treatment approaches, case management practices, and innovative service solutions tailored to the needs of a large, diverse, and geographically dispersed organisation.

Access routes are expected to include self-referral, manager referral, and referrals from associated services within the Occupational Health, Hygiene and Wellbeing portfolio (e.g. Occupational Health, Employee Assistance Programme and DSE assessments).
