Provision of Medicals

The Coal Authority is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and our mission is to make a better future for people and the environment in mining areas.

As a responsible and caring employer, we are committed to supporting the overall health and wellbeing of our employees. We have always provided annual medicals as part of this commitment but these were paused as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previously we have provided a single one size fits all medical but recognise that people have become increasingly conscious of the benefits of monitoring their health and wellbeing and therefore may wish to have more comprehensive testing and assessment than what is provided as a standard. They may also wish for family members to have access to medicals.

We are seeking a supplier that can provide high quality medicals that:

• can easily be accessed across England, Scotland and Wales as our employees work across a wide geographical area within Great Britain
• clear and simple reporting to enable our employees to proactively manage their health and wellbeing
• offer flexibility to provide employees with the option of upgrading the medical and enabling family members to have a medical at the agreed rates by paying the additional cost directly to the supplier
