Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The recent procurement by the Derry City and Strabane District Council resulted in the awarding of contracts under the title "T23-061CRO Provision of Employee Health Care Cash Plan and Employee Assistance Services for DCSDC Employees - Re Issued." The bidding process, which utilised an open procedure governed by PCR 2015, has seen both lots awarded and the contract signed on 20 May 2025. This initiative falls within the accident and health insurance services category, specifically focusing on employee health care and assistance programs.
Given the regional scope of delivery focused on the United Kingdom (region UKN0A), the procurement has reached completion, underscored by competitive bidding. Key roles were played by the contracting authority, Derry City and Strabane District Council, in facilitating the seamless service transition for approximately 1,000 staff. This procurement offers substantial business growth potential to providers specialising in medical and voluntary health insurance services, along with counselling and company health services.
The opportunity is particularly fitting for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Bolton and District Hospital Saturday Council and Spectrum Wellness UK Ltd, who have already successfully secured awards for the Health Care Cash Plan and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) Services lots, respectively. With the focus on delivering critical health and assistance services, businesses experienced in handling employee welfare programmes leveraging state-of-the-art diagnostics and continuous counselling services are ideally positioned to compete. This underscores a significant step towards improved employee wellbeing, and offers avenues for skilled healthcare providers to expand their footprint in support services across Northern Ireland.
