Office for Students: Health Assessments

The recent contracting process initiated by the Office for Students in the UK has led to the award of a contract for health assessments. This process was held under the industry category of Health Services, focusing on company health services specifically. The contract, titled "Office for Students: Health Assessments," was awarded on 7th May 2025 and will run from 8th May 2025 to 16th April 2026, with a potential for renewal until 2029.

The procurement method employed was a direct award, primarily because of the need for comprehensive, face-to-face health assessments provided off-site for their employees. Located in Bristol, the Office for Students has contracted Nuffield Health, based in Epsom, Surrey, as the supplier for this service. This tender opens up opportunities for businesses in the health services industry, particularly those capable of providing in-depth health assessments and wellness programmes tailored to organisational needs.

Large organisations like Nuffield Health, with capacity and expertise in delivering company health services, are well-suited to compete in such contracts. Smaller enterprises aiming to expand in the corporate wellness sector could also explore partnerships or subcontracting opportunities with larger organisations to enhance their service offerings and market presence.
