The Council is undertaking an initial review of its occupational health service provision and is seeking to engage with the market to understand available service models, supplier capacity, innovation, indicative costs and potential approaches to delivery. This soft market engagement exercise is intended to inform the Council´s options appraisal and any future procurement strategy. It does not constitute a call for competition, nor does it commit the Council to commencing a procurement process or awarding any contract. The Council may use information gathered through this engagement to help shape the scope, specification, procurement route and commercial model for any future opportunity.
