For the provision of Selected Medical Practitioners (SMP) for Humberside Police

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside has awarded a contract related to health services, specifically for the provision of Selected Medical Practitioners to assess staff for ill-health retirement. The contract was awarded to R Health Ltd, a supplier based in Widnes, UK, on 23rd October 2025 with a total value of £111,000. The procurement follows a limited method, under the BlueLight framework, concerning services in the health sector across several UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

Although the tender stage is complete, the contract includes an option to extend for an additional 12 months beyond the initial 24-month period. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical and health services, particularly those adept in occupational health evaluations or having previous experience with police forces. The location spread across multiple UK regions provides a broad scope for businesses to engage with a regional authority like the Police Commissioner for Humberside.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), like R Health Ltd, may find e-commerce engagement particularly beneficial if they can offer competitive pricing or innovative health solutions. Although the procurement method was direct award without prior competition, understanding such frameworks may advantage companies seeking similar contracts in the future.
