Published requirement description

Provision of an Occupational Health Service Market Engagement for NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board.

** THIS NOTICE IS FOR MARKET ENGAGEMENT PURPOSES ONLY **

NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB are inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver an occupation health service.

The ICB has previously received occupational health services as part of a wider contract.

Since entering into the original occupational health services agreement, the organisation has grown significantly, following the transfer of services from NHS England and as a result the ICB requires a dedicated service to meet the needs of its provider population across General Practice (GP), Pharmacy, Optometry and Dentistry.

The purpose of this advert is to invite the market to engage and provide feedback on the draft specification. This will provide the ICB with valuable information to ensure that the service and specification is fit for purpose.

The deadline for market engagement responses is by 17:00 hours on Thursday 9th October 2025. Please note this is a market testing exercise and does not commit the ICB to carry out any further procurement process. Any future opportunity will be carried out in accordance with the ICB's procurement obligations under the Procurement Act 2023.
