Provision for Occupational Health Services to De Montfort University

Tender reference 453

You are invited to apply to join a list of tenderers for the provision of Occupational Health Services. 

The provider(s) will be expected to achieve, encourage and promote a positive health culture in the University.  The service will focus upon providing pro-active occupational health services which support both employees and managers (all staff).  The service will promote good health, support employees, assist with health questionnaires and advise managers on occupation health issues, including fitness for work, absence management and rehabilitation programs.

Our preference is that provider(s) have their own premises close to the University to provide confidentiality, offer a comfortable environment and to minimise travel times. We do have a health examination room on site that might be used.  You will also be required to work on site at the University and attend University Committee meetings as required.

It is expected that the contract will start on 1st May 2009 for an initial trial period of three months to identify demand and service provision. The contract will be for one year with options to extend for a further 2 years.

The award criteria will be on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender in terms of the criteria stated in the specifications.
