What the notice says

The University of Portsmouth is undertaking pre‑market engagement to seek views from experienced suppliers on a proposal to combine its existing Student and Staff Occupational Health contracts into a single, integrated supplier‑delivered service. The University has around 28,000 students and employs around 3,500 staff. This engagement aims to explore the feasibility of this approach, including service delivery models, commercial considerations, and potential benefits for both staff and students. The proposed service would provide a comprehensive occupational health offering for both staff and students, including: - The delivery of occupational health clearance for students, in line with current course‑specific occupational health guidance, to support their eligibility to undertake mandatory placement activities. - The provision of occupational health assessments, health surveillance, and vaccination services for staff, aligned with statutory and best‑practice occupational health requirements. - Initial and vaccination appointments for students and staff delivered at the University of Portsmouth site. - Accessible facilities and local service provision to ensure that both staff and students can easily access occupational health services within the local area.
