Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Police procured influenza vaccination services for its employees, combining administration of flu vaccines at various sites with additional digital vouchers. The requirement is classified as influenza vaccines and is primarily a goods procurement, although delivery includes an employee vaccination service. Work is to be delivered across Northumbria Police sites in the North East of England. One contractor was intended to provide the requirement. The buyer is Northumbria Police, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The arrangement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to occupational health providers, pharmacies, vaccination companies and other healthcare businesses able to organise and deliver workplace flu clinics across multiple locations while supporting digital voucher provision.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited competitive quotation process below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was between £26,845 and £29,500, inclusive of the stated minimum and maximum values. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with a maximum duration of 12 months and no extension periods. The award was made on 30 June 2026 to PRSM Services Ltd for £26,845. The contract covers one appointed contractor. The flu clinics were expected to commence between mid-September and early December, with delivery across various North East sites.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for workplace influenza vaccination delivery within Northumbria Police and shows that the buyer uses a below-threshold competitive quotation route for a single-provider arrangement. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would be able to plan and staff flu clinics across multiple North East locations, administer vaccinations to employees safely and efficiently, and provide or manage digital vouchers as part of the service. Relevant competitors include occupational health providers, pharmacy-led vaccination services and specialist immunisation companies. An SME can be credible on this requirement if it has sufficient operational capacity for several sites, reliable clinical delivery arrangements and the systems needed to coordinate employee access and digital voucher fulfilment.
