Summary

Background

Bupa is an international healthcare company. With no shareholders, their customers are their focus. They reinvest profits into providing more and better healthcare for the benefit of current and future customers.

Bupa's origins are in health insurance and this remains at the core of what they do. They deliver health services where they complement their position in health insurance; giving them greater insight into how health systems work and enabling them to deliver great customer experiences.

They have 16.7 million health insurance customers, provide healthcare to around 15 million people in their clinics, hospitals and dental centres and look after over 22,300 aged care residents in their care homes and villages. 

Challenge

Private medical insurance can be expensive for small and medium enterprises/businesses (SMEs). Bupa is interested in understanding existing and upcoming solutions that SMEs use to tackle their employee’s health and wellbeing. They are thus looking for companies and technologies bringing low cost options and solutions to SMEs in areas such as employee wellbeing and engagement, health payment/funding packages, access to care solutions, employee data management and analysis, customer experience analysis, procurement system management, etc.

For example, Bupa know many SMEs sponsor virtual GP access for their employees and Employee Assistance Programmes; but what/where are the other technology solutions that provide workplace wellbeing to a business?

What’s in it for you?

The opportunity to present your solution to the Bupa Senior Leadership Team and to interact with Bupa experts in the field on a pitch day. 

Bupa are open to propositions from individuals, consultants, universities, spinout companies, start-ups and SMEs. A successful application will lead to a presentation at Bupa in front of senior leaders and could lead to opportunities to co-develop and bring an idea to market, exclusive licensing of technologies or IP, or potential other opportunities.

Bupa are open to solutions at any stage if the opportunity is great enough.
