Decision details

Award a new contract to commission Leeds Occupational Health Advisory Service (LOHAS) to deliver occupational health support services for employees of small and medium sized businesses.

Reference: D43908

Decision Maker: Director of Public Health

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Request the waiver of Contract Procedure Rules (CPRs) 9.1 and 9.2 (high
value procurements) and directly award a new 1 year contract (with the option to extend for up to 36 months) to Leeds Occupational Health Advisory Service (LOHAS) for an occupational health support service for employees of small and medium sized businesses at a cost £48,010 per annum.

Directly awarding a new contract to LOHAS to start 1st April 2017 will mean that there is no service disruption, and GPs and employees will continue to receive help that they require to enable individuals to remain in or return to the workplace and address their health needs.

As a direct result of the Public Health grant cuts announced by the Government in 2015, this report also seeks to note the reduction of 5% in the contract value of this new contract in line with the Public Health contracts strategy
