Occupational Health Services

The Great British Nuclear (GBN), a body operating under the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, has successfully concluded a procurement process for occupational health services. This process was executed after two unsuccessful attempts through the existing CCS framework, RM6182, leading to a Request for Quote (RFQ) strategy prioritising the lowest price. The contract, valued at £300,000, was awarded to Heales Health Services on 21 April 2025.

This procurement, falling under the health services category (CPV code 85100000), is aimed at delivering occupational health services to GBN employees and potentially to two additional development companies. The procurement method was limited, with no prior public announcement of the competition due to framework constraints, and covers various regions throughout the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, and UKL. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of occupational health services, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive health solutions on a national level.

The contract's eligibility and selection criteria, focusing primarily on pricing, make it particularly appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises like Heales Health Services, which was the sole bidder. Companies in the health services industry with competitive pricing strategies can leverage such opportunities to expand their government procurement portfolios. Additionally, the contract's potential extensions, with two optional 12-month periods, offer the awarded company a stable platform for growth and continuity in service delivery.
