The procurement is expected to be split into 3 lots, as detailed below:

The combined annual contract value across all lots is currently estimated to be in the region of £7,609,342, based on 2022/23 contract values and assuming 95% uptake across adolescent immunisation programmes and 60% for the influenza immunisation for the school years of Reception through to Year 6. This value also includes a sum to support action to address variation and inequalities. All figures are subject to change.

Contracts are currently expected to be let for an initial 5 year term, with the option to extend for a further 2 years. Services are currently expected to commence on 1st August 2024.

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice in order to determine market interest levels and relates only to pre-procurement market engagement only. Providers who express interest at this stage are not bound to participate in any future procurement exercise.

This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
