Summary of the contracting process
NHS England is undertaking a significant procurement process for the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme for Outreach Services in the Midlands Region. This initiative is set under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and adheres to the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process is in the tender update stage, focusing on health services, with the NHS England Commissioner intending to award several contracts covering 17 different lots within various Midlands Integrated Care Boards.
The location of these services includes areas such as Leicester, Coventry, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, and Herefordshire, among others. The procurement process is open, with a competitive method, and services are scheduled to begin on 1st October 2025 and end by 31st March 2026. Key dates include a deadline for provider representations and the beginning of a standstill period on 11th September 2025, aiming for services to be delivered for six months during 2025-2026.
The procurement presents a substantial opportunity for a variety of business entities, especially those involved in healthcare and community services. Small and medium-sized enterprises, along with large health service providers, are particularly well-suited to compete given the diversity of service delivery approaches, including mobile and static vaccination clinics aimed at increasing vaccine accessibility and addressing health disparities. Companies with expertise in mobile health services, collaborative partnerships, and those that can demonstrate value in improving health outcomes will find significant growth opportunities.
Businesses focusing on community engagement, multilingual services, and innovative health interventions are encouraged to engage with this robust procurement process, providing crucial health services and extending their influence in the Midlands region.
