Purpose

To commission an outsourced Occupational Health and Employee
Assistance Programme service contributes to the Council’s
priority related to people achieving wellbeing, independence and
living healthy lives.

The Commissioning Governance Board approved the award of a contract
for RB Kingston council in accordance with the Regulation (3)
Council’s Contract Regulations to Duradiamond Healthcare
Limited (trading as Health Partners) for a contract period of three
years (initial term) with the option to extend for one year for an
estimated maximum contract value of £324,000 (4 years -
includes extension period).

The Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme Service
is provided for council employees, schools and partnering
organisations and the procurement supports joint commissioning with
the London Borough of Sutton. The new service will bring
significant quality improvements, whilst strengthening the
resilience and governance arrangements and reducing future
costs.
