Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS England has recently awarded a contract for COVID-19 vaccination outreach services within the regions of Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire. This contract was competed through an open procurement method and has now reached the awarding stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement focused on health services, aiming to provide vaccination awareness, engagement, education, and roving multi-vaccination delivery, with a particular emphasis on reducing health inequalities.
65, and its term is set for 7 months, from 1 September 2025 to 31 March 2026. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in healthcare services, particularly those focusing on vaccination and community health outreach. Businesses capable of delivering effective vaccination programmes and possessing strong skills in public health engagement and education would be well-suited for such contracts.
With a primary focus on serving under-represented and hard-to-reach populations, providers with experience in community-based healthcare delivery can leverage this procurement to enhance their service delivery models and expand their business footprint across regions. As the contract aligns with the National Vaccination Strategy, it is ideal for businesses committed to integrating innovative solutions and collaborating with local health authorities and stakeholders.
NHS England South West (the Commissioner) sought to commission a Provider with the capability and capacity to deliver COVID-19 vaccination services in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire. The Commissioner identified a need for COVID-19 vaccination services beyond those that could be provided through the Site Sign-up Process. The procurement documentation outlined the population need for outreach services across Bath, North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW). The Commissioner aimed to procure a single provider to deliver a vaccination outreach service encompassing vaccination awareness, engagement, education, roving multi-vaccination delivery, and outbreak response support. The service, through targeted interventions, was intended to reduce health inequalities and improve access to and uptake of vaccinations. The Outreach Service was designed to reflect the ambitions of the National Vaccination Strategy 'Shaping the future delivery of NHS vaccination services', published in December 2023. The Outreach Service: - Was envisioned to be simple, convenient, and efficient, helping people make informed choices about vaccinations and how to access them. - Was to be delivered by trained, skilled, and competent personnel administering primarily COVID-19 and Influenza vaccinations, with other vaccinations where agreed by the Commissioner. - Targeted under-served populations, aiming to improve uptake among individuals and communities with historically low coverage. Interventions and communities were selected based on data and public health expertise. - Collaborated with Commissioning bodies, other NHS Providers, Local Authorities, and Partners to ensure inclusivity and value for money. - Leveraged existing community assets to embed vaccination services within communities and local priorities. - Worked in conjunction with existing vaccination providers in the area to address gaps and avoid duplicating core services. The contract term was 7 months, from 1 September 2025 to 31 March 2026. The number of vaccines delivered was determined by patient choice. The contract value aligned with the 'Schedule 3' document included in the procurement materials.
