School Aged Immunisation Services in Thames Valley, Kent and Medway and Sussex

Tender description

NHS England South East is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) and responses to a market questionnaire from providers which have the capability and capacity to provide a School Aged Immunisation Service within the Thames Valley, Kent and Medway and Sussex areas, and would wish to take to part in a potential procurement exercise. Responses will help to inform the commissioning strategy. The overall aim of the procurement is to secure services that will ensure maximum uptake and coverage of school aged immunisation programmes and contribute to the population outcomes set out in the national immunisation strategy that is due to be published shortly. The invitation to tender is likely to be published in September 2023 and the contract is due to begin in August 2024. It is likely that the services will be split into 6 lots based around local authority boundaries, but this is still being considered and the final decision will be informed by both market and stakeholder engagement. The total annual contract value across all areas is anticipated to be £7,656,924.
