## About this tender

The provision of Occupational Health Services for Canterbury Christ Church University

Canterbury Christ Church University is looking to appoint a provider to deliver an Occupational Health Service (OHS) that supports the University in meeting legislative requirements and maintaining a duty of care to staff, ensuring fitness to work of staff, promoting physical and mental wellbeing amongst staff to optimise attendance, engagement, resilience and performance.

The OHS provider will support staff with illness or other medical or health requirements and assist in the prevention of health-related problems amongst the Universityâ&#128;&#153;s staff as a result of their activities, providing guidance and signposting for the treatment of any such problems. OHS will provide advice to managers about the reasonable long or short term adjustments that can be made; and support employees who as a result of injury, new or pre-existing health problems find that they are not able to fulfil the remit of their role, either in the short or long-term. Furthermore, the OHS provider is required to be a conduit in providing advice that facilitates early intervention of services delivered through the core NHS remit. This may include liaison with GPâ&#128;&#153;s and other health practitioners with the employees express consent.

The OHS provider will help the University to reduce levels of sickness absence, identifying trends in work-related absence and prioritising and tackling significant health and wellbeing-related issues.

The provider will provide advice on a range of work-related issues. Significantly it will bring to the attention of the University relevant work-related health requirements, topics and themes so as to inform the review, development and implementation of appropriate occupational health and wellbeing interventions.

The service will be provided to all staff employed by the University. Services, if not provided on site, must be available within a reasonable radius (no more than 60 minutesâ&#128;&#153; drive) of the three main campuses at Canterbury, Medway and Broadstairs.

The Provider shall be required to develop a good understanding of the Universityâ&#128;&#153;s objectives and tasks, as well as the environmental and work-related health risks particular to its staff, working in partnership with relevant university departments.

The Provider shall have a clear process in place both for monitoring and assuring the quality of its service and for dealing with customer complaints. The Provider shall be required to meet minimum response and turnaround times for the provision of OH services, including appointments. The Provider shall be expected to be proactive in keeping the University informed on progress in delivering activities against response and turnaround times, including providing early warning of any potential exceptions. Minimum requirements shall be agreed with the University, but are likely to be:
