YPO - 001101 Occupational Health Solutions, EAP & Associated Services

This lot and all sub-lots will all be supported by an outcome focussed specification which will enable the delivery of solutions to contracting authorities that are suited to their specific needs. The focus of an OH solution is to support increased productivity within the workplace, ensuring employers meet their legal obligations to their employees and promoting a healthier workforce. Core services will include: • Pre-employment health screening/questionnaires • Management referrals • Ongoing absence management • Health surveillance • Statutory medicals • Ensuring organisations meet their legal obligations in respect of employee health • Provide and promote effective return to work strategies • Strategic advice and guidance • Provision of an occupational health management system for use by managers • Ability to deliver services both in person and remotely Associated services will capture all services associated to occupational health, some examples are: • Neurodiversity diagnostics and workplace adjustments • Asbestos medical assessments • Drug and alcohol screening • Rehabilitation services • Workstation assessments • Vaccination programmes • Wellbeing training • Wellbeing programmes • Day 1 absence programme • There will also be the option to include EAP as an additional service, to give organisations the chance to procure both OH & EAP in one place Providers will outline which associated services they can deliver within their bid submission and will be able to update these services throughout the life of the framework. This lot will be supported by sub-lots covering specific regions, opening up the reach of this framework in comparison to the previous iteration and providing SME providers the ability to provide to public sector organisations. Ability to deliver in the identified region will be a pass/fail criteria and evidence of ability to deliver in the identified region will be required.

Employee Assistance Programmes are considered to be a valuable employee benefit designed to help with both professional and personal problems which could be impacting well-being. Unlike OH solutions, EAP is employee-led and a key focus in the ability to self-refer and the provision of a confidential service. These programmes are aimed at improving morale and working environments, reducing stress, absence and improving overall employee health. Core services will include: • 24/7 emotional support, via telephone and/or online • Guided self-help solutions • Session based counselling • Information in respect of legal, financial and workplace issues • Workplace support for managers Additional services will capture all outcome focussed services related to employee well-being, some examples are: • Neurodiversity diagnostics and workplace adjustments • Wellbeing training • Wellbeing programmes • Career coaching • Critical incident/post trauma support
