Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 50 awards in the last 12 months).

What the notice says

The Council is undertaking an initial review of its occupational health service provision and is seeking to engage with the market to understand available service models, supplier capacity, innovation, indicative costs and potential approaches to delivery. This soft market engagement exercise is intended to inform the Council's options appraisal and any future procurement strategy. It does not constitute a call for competition, nor does it commit the Council to commencing a procurement process or awarding any contract. The Council may use information gathered through this engagement to help shape the scope, specification, procurement route and commercial model for any future opportunity.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
