Summary, notice description and lot information
The Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for the provision of School-Aged Immunisation Service (SAIS) as part of the annual flu programme for the East of England Region. This contract, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, was confirmed on 15th October 2025, with the contract awarded to existing provider Vaccination UK Limited. The procurement category is health services, specifically focusing on flu immunization.
The procurement method was a direct award without prior publication, due to the lack of realistic alternative providers who could deliver safely and effectively within the necessary timeframe and scale. The contract duration spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029, potentially extensible for another four years, with a total contract value of £26,795,372. This contract presents significant opportunities for large health service providers familiar with the flu vaccination programme and capable of delivering high-volume services across a wide geographical area.
Businesses with existing infrastructure and expertise in health services, particularly in immunization, are well-positioned to bid for future extensions or similar contracts. The opportunity underscores the importance of having robust delivery capabilities and a proven track record in delivering consistent, large-scale health services, as demonstrated by Vaccination UK Limited securing the contract based on their proven capacity and performance.
