- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
The University of Gloucestershire is undertaking a brief market engagement exercise to inform its future procurement strategy for Occupational Health Services. The current student service includes health screening, immunisations, occupational health assessments and placement clearances for Healthcare and Education students undertaking placement-based programmes. A separate contract currently provides a specialist Occupational Health service for University staff, delivering independent professional advice and support to employees, managers and HR on health-related matters and workplace wellbeing. The staff service is required to be impartial, responsive and accessible, providing clear recommendations on fitness for work, workplace adjustments, rehabilitation and return-to-work planning, enabling managers and HR to make informed decisions while supporting a proactive and preventative approach to employee health and wellbeing.
The University particularly wishes to understand:
• The level of market interest in providing Occupational Health Services with accessible facilities and local service provision (where required) to ensure that both staff and students can easily access occupational health services within the local area.
• Whether providers can support staff and healthcare student Occupational Health Services under a single contract.
• The advantages, challenges and considerations associated with different delivery models.
The OH services would be delivered to approx. 1400 healthcare and 300 education students and 1000 staff.
This engagement is for information-gathering purposes only and is not a formal procurement. It does not commit the University to any future procurement or contractual arrangement, and the University reserves the right to determine its future sourcing strategy and route to market.
