As part of our service offering to ensure a high performing and healthy workforce, the Council offers an Occupational Health (OH) service as well as an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) including one-to-one counselling and self-help guidance and support to employees. 

In order to continue to support staff at Bracknell Forest Council and in schools with their wellbeing and attendance at work, there is a need to re-procure a full employee health and welfare service.  Current arrangements finish at end of June 2021, and re-procurement will ensure the services remains within existing budget and with minimum disruption at transition.
