Community COVID-19 Vaccination Programme - South West Additional Fixed Sites

NHS England South West (the Commissioner) were seeking to commission a Provider(s) who have the capability and capacity to deliver Community COVID-19 vaccination services at additional fixed sites across the South West.

The Commissioner identified that there is a need for further provision of COVID-19 vaccination services beyond that capable of being provided by the Site Sign-up Process.

Fixed Site Services will be required to vaccinate all eligible cohorts (including care homes) and claim payments consistent with sites commissioned under the Site Sign-up Process.

Population gaps have been identified by the Commissioner as requiring additional Fixed Site Services following the Site Sign-Up Process. The postcodes are divided into Lots, each Lot will represent one or more post codes. Within each Lot, more than one contracts may be awarded depending on the capacity that Potential Suppliers are able to offer and the level of capacity required for that Lot.

The procurement was structured into 16 Lots across the South West:

The total value of Community COVID-19 Vaccination Programme - South West Additional Fixed Sites pricing is £7.54 per vaccine, with undetermined volumes over 12 months, and a possible extension of an additional 12 months. The initial 12 months period will commence from 1st April 2025.

The number of vaccines to be delivered will be determined by patient choice where suppliers will be paid £7.54 per vaccine given.
