Childhood immunisations programme - Community grant

Leeds City Council has completed a direct award contracting process for managing the Community grants programme focusing on childhood immunisations. The contract, valued at £29,523 GBP, was awarded to Forum Central (Volition), with the procurement classified under "Health and social work services." This award signifies the completion of the tender stage, with the contract period beginning on 1st January 2026 and ending on 31st March 2026.

The locations involved in this project include LS2 8BB, among other regions such as the British Oversea Territories and the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a direct award, which streamlines the process by selecting a supplier without a competitive tendering phase. This tender provides opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social work services to engage in community-focused initiatives.

Small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly well-suited to participate in similar future opportunities, given the project's scope and requirements. Businesses capable of managing or implementing community health programmes may find this an advantageous entry point to collaborate with a governmental body like Leeds City Council, potentially leading to growth and increased statewide recognition in the health services sector.
