Provision of leading indicators for health protection reporting

National Highways is a government owned company responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England. We are seeking to appoint a single supplier to undertake research aimed at preventing long-latency occupational illnesses across the construction supply chain. The research will identify practical leading indicators of occupational health performance through a combination of supply chain surveys, a review of relevant academic and industry literature, and stakeholder engagement. The appointed supplier will analyse the findings and develop evidence-based recommendations for leading health performance indicators and control metrics that can be adopted to strengthen occupational health management and support the prevention of long-latency occupational illnesses within the construction sector. We are now conducting pre-market engagement to test if our expectations can be delivered by the market or if adaptation is required.
