Purpose: The current Occupational Health (OH) contract expires on 25th September 2025, and we have taken the opportunity to explore alternative service providers through the ESPO Framework. Occupational Health is a vital support service for both employees and managers. It offers expert advice and recommendations on staff wellbeing and provides guidance on how best to support employees in returning to work, expertise that is not available internally within the Council. This service is essential to the Council’s operations, helping to reduce sickness absence and promoting the overall health and wellbeing of our workforce.
