Occupational Health Physicians

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has recently awarded a contract for Occupational Health Physicians, classified under the Medical Practice and Related Services category (CPV 85120000). This contract, valued at approximately £350,000, covers the provision of occupational health services from 8th July 2025 to 30th June 2030. The contract was awarded using a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) without prior publication of a call for competition, as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023.

The procurement process was conducted through a direct award, known as Direct Award Process C, and represents a confirmation of contract award without application of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth particularly for businesses specialising in healthcare and occupational health services. Companies that have expertise in medical practice and compliance with healthcare regulations would be well-suited to engage in this tender.

As the contract has already been awarded to Staff Health Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, future opportunities may exist for similar sized businesses to participate in related or future tenders within this sector. Focusing on quality service and competitive pricing can position businesses advantageously to participate in direct award processes used by public bodies like the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The direct award methodology illustrates the trust's preference for proven service delivery, making prior strong performance in similar contracts a valuable credential.
