The framework will cover a range of services from general occupational health services to employee assistance programmes such as pre-employment assessments, absence management, immunisation programmes, blood tests, vaccinations and confidential support and counselling. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.

Lot 2 - NHS Services. This lot requires service providers to provide employers with a more specialised service for the NHS sector. Lot 3 - Blue Light Services.
