Providing this service has proved to be an effective way to actively manage employees' return to health and minimise the loss of working days. This Contract is being procured on behalf of Somerset Council and the following organisations who may utilise the services during the life of the contract: o SCC Maintained Schools o Non-Maintained Schools in Somerset o South West Councils (https://swcouncils.gov.uk/) o Multi-Academy Trusts that contain Somerset Schools Please note, the organisations listed above may potentially access Physio services through this contract, however there are no guarantees or ideas of potential usage.
