## About this tender

Portsmouth City Council (the Authority) is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced Suppliers to deliver an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and an Occupational Health (OH) service to its staff.

Suppliers are invited to submit bids for each service as an individual Lot. Where Suppliers submit bids for both services, the Authority invites Suppliers to submit an optional 'combined bid', highlighting the financial and operational benefits of contracting with one Supplier for both services.

While the Authority is interested in appointing one Supplier to provide both services, the Authority is under no obligation to award on a combined basis and reserves the right to award a contract(s) to the most economically advantageous tender(s).

The scope of the services will comprise but may not be limited to the following:

### EAP Service

o Assessments of employees by relevant OH professionals

o Access to mental health nurses and assessments

o Provision of case reports on each referral outlining the relevant recommendations for the employee and any relevant signposting

o Ill health retirement duties and advice

o Deferred pension advice

The Authority has a workforce of 6,733 employees who provide a wide range of services and are engaged in a diverse range of roles, including technical, professional, manual, craft, administrative and managerial occupations.

The value of the EAP contract is estimated to be approximately ?55,000 per year.

The value of the OH contract is estimated to be approximately ?65,000 per year.

The initial contract period will be for 3 years extendable in increments to be agreed to a maximum of 5 years, subject to performance and agreement of all parties.
