Description

The procurement is for the provision of comprehensive Occupational Health (OH) services for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS). Services must support staff health, fitness for duty, and legal compliance, tailored to the high-risk nature of fire and rescue roles. The supplier is required to deliver a full OH solution, including digital portal access for case management and reporting. Core services include pre-employment medicals, health surveillance, management referrals, ill-health retirement assessments, and rehabilitation support. Specialist services include vaccinations, needle-stick injury response, psychiatric referrals, and 24/7 drug and alcohol testing. Infrastructure support may involve use of Agecroft Fire Station and mobile service delivery. The contract demands performance against a robust KPI framework, regular reporting, and minimal system downtime. The supplier must provide fully qualified OH professionals and maintain high service standards. Procurement was conducted via an Open Competitive ITT process to ensure alignment.
