Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the Calderdale Roving and Vaccine Hesitancy/Health Inequalities Service. This service, classified under the General-practitioner services category, focuses on improving vaccine access and uptake among those aged 75 and over or with immunosuppression, particularly in areas demonstrating low vaccination rates. The contract, valued at £25,500, is effective from 1st November 2025 until 31st March 2026 and operates within the UKE44 region.
The award follows a limited procurement procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency, in compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This service presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those specialising in community health services and targeted outreach initiatives. Companies capable of providing tailored education, personalised outreach, and community engagement to improve vaccine uptake among vulnerable populations would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders.
The contract emphasises addressing immediate health risks and expanding patient reach, which can bolster a company's profile and foster growth in public sector collaborations. Engaging with such initiatives helps businesses align with public health goals, enhancing both reach and reputation within the community health landscape.
Calderdale PCNs will undertake specific targeted work to improve access to, and uptake, for vaccinations for 75 year olds and over, or those with immunosuppression, tackling any access to technology issues and also hesitancy.
The team will specifically target those at risk of health inequalities who are aged 75 and over who may not have received vaccination due to hesitancy, or access needs such as transport, or lack of digital access (e.g. mobile phones or internet).
Where there is particularly low uptake in certain practices, practices will target the 75 and overs including housebound who have not previously had their Covid vaccination due to a variety of reasons.
Practices will:
- Increase vaccine uptake this winter through a more personalised, targeted outreach approach.
- Improve access for the housebound and those with barriers to attending clinics.
- Provide tailored education and reassurance addressing vaccine concerns.
- Maximise uptake of COVID-19 vaccination whilst 'making every contact count'.
Each PCN will do additional work to continue to engage with community leaders and have hesitancy conversations to improve uptake of those in eligible cohorts where uptake is less for BAME communities and those who are immunosuppressed. Coordinating a number of specific community clinics along with community engagement work.
