Medical Services - Ill Health Retirement Assessment
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process initiated by the Department for Education involves the provision of medical services for Ill Health Retirement Assessment under the Teachers' Pension Scheme. The procurement falls under the services category, focusing on health and social work services, with an emphasis on administrative healthcare services. Located in London, UK, the process is currently at the planning stage, with a significant pre-market engagement scheduled for 17th June 2025.
The contract is expected to be awarded by December 2025, allowing a smooth transition before the current contract expires on 31st March 2026. The anticipated contract will run until 31st March 2029, with a potential extension up to March 2030. This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in medical services, particularly those equipped to handle health assessments and appeals.
Companies with experience in administrative healthcare services will find this contract aligns with their capabilities. The procurement process welcomes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to express their interest, thus fostering an inclusive competitive environment. Engaging in this contract can aid business growth by increasing service delivery to a key public sector body and expanding expertise in a high-impact field like pensions and health assessments.
The Department requires the expertise of a medical service supplier whose clinical advisors will provide advice on whether applications for ill health retirement under the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) meet the criteria set out in the regulations. A successful service provider will be responsible for reviewing all new ill health applications, including serious ill health applications, as well as first-stage and second-stage appeals. They will also provide a written medical assessment of a member's current health and/or life expectancy, and make associated medical recommendations on a member's eligibility, or continued eligibility, for an ill health pension, as determined by the relevant legislation.
Our existing contract runs out on 31 March 2026. We anticipate the new contract will be awarded at the beginning of December 2025 to allow sufficient transition/ implementation time before 1 April 2026.
