National Brands Limited awards tender for integrated services

National Brands Limited has awarded a tender to Life Health Solutions for the provision of our integrated services. This deal marks a new client on our books.

National Brands Limited is a South African company that produces beverages under the Willards brand name. They are home to many of South Africa's loved brands, ranging from Bakers Biscuits and Five Roses to Yardley and Lenthéric. They are a subsidiary of AVI – a JSE-listed in the Food Products sector – with over forty manufacturing sites across South Africa.

As part of our service, we will provide them with occupational health and safety (four on-site clinics and one off-site clinic), as well as basic primary healthcare and emergency medical services. Our expansion into the FMCG sector continues as we now represent the largest and most well-known FMCG companies in South Africa. The contract begins in July 2022 and will cover 2,000 of their employees sited across the country.

The award was truly the result of teamwork

Several people, across several workstreams, came together to make this deal happen. We congratulate Marna Mouton who was supported by Madeleine Jacobs as the subject matter expert, Vuyiswa Mazibuko from the Bid Office who project managed the tender process, and Roline Pretorius who produced the amazing proposal and presentation decks. Not forgetting our CEO, Nicole Corbin, and our Finance Manager, Kartick Maharaj who gave us the best commercial offer to secure the deal.

Having recently completed the internal business development training workshops, this deal emphasises the importance of having the right team working together in crafting a solution that best suits our client's needs. This tender process involved a lot of back-and-forth communication between Life Health Solutions and AVI Limited. It was a transparent process in which our expertise as Health Risk Managers guided the client on what would best suit their business and budget.

 Well done team!
