The public procurement process regarding the EHRC 2021-31 Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme was conducted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. This contract, classified under the health services industry (CPV 85100000), was completed as part of a selective procurement method—a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement covered the provision of an Occupational Health Service and an Employee Assistance Programme across England, Scotland, and Wales.

The procurement stage is complete, with the contract initially intended to run from 1st July 2021 until 30th December 2025, as per the latest update recorded on 9th October 2025. This tender provided opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies involved in health services suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Firms with experience in delivering employee assistance or occupational health programmes could effectively compete due to the nature of the service requirement.

By being involved in such government contracts, these businesses can enhance their visibility and credibility while securing a steady revenue stream over the duration of the framework agreement.
