NHSE RSV Pharmacy expansion - Market Engagement Event

Successful Suppliers will be commissioned via a CP ES which will be of the type referred to in direction 14 of the Pharmaceutical Services (Advanced and Enhanced Services) (England) Directions 2013 as amended. Details of the Enhanced Service requirements will be set out in an ES specification which cannot be altered locally. Successful Suppliers will provide the Services in accordance with the terms of the CP ES and in full compliance with their Terms of Service or Local Pharmaceutical Services contract terms, as applicable.

Service requirements and contract value

The cohort of patients eligible to be vaccinated in community pharmacy, and who therefore represent the likely activity level under the Contract, is eligible older adults and pregnant women, as described in the CP ES. Although there are no residency requirements on this eligible cohort of patients, providers should assume an upper ceiling activity level to be the number of eligible patients in the area the provider generally serves.

The value of the service provision resulting from this Procurement Process will be an Item of Service (Ios) fee of £10.06 for the administration of each RSV vaccine to each eligible patient.

The number of eligible patients, and therefore the likely activity level, could change as a result of factors beyond the Commissioner's control such as an increase or decrease in population of the local area, closure or merger of other nearby NHS health organisations, or patient preference. Accordingly, these activity levels are for illustrative purposes only.

The Authority would like to hold a Market Engagement event to inform the market of its intentions to commission the above services.

The Authority plans to hold an online interactive Market Engagement Event on Tuesday 27th May 2025 11:30 - 13:00 to provide further information about the procurement, including:

• an overview of the proposed services to be provided
• details of the anticipated contract type, length and particular conditions
• an overview of the procurement process and the anticipated timeline

Please complete the Market Engagement Event Registration Form by no later than 12:00pm (Noon) on Wednesday 21st May 2025 if you are interested to attend the event: PRJ2152 - RSV Pharmacy expansion - Market Engagement Event Registration Form
