Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured delivery of its annual flu vaccination programme for council employees. The requirement is for health and social care services, covering vaccination provision to employees across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands and England locations identified for delivery. The council intended to appoint providers able to organise and deliver workplace flu vaccinations under a framework agreement, supporting its employee health programme. This is a service opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase: relevant businesses are occupational health providers, vaccination services, pharmacies, healthcare organisations and other providers with the operational ability to deliver employee vaccination programmes. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it was not restricted to large national healthcare businesses.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure conducted under the Light Touch Regime. Up to three providers were intended for the framework; the recorded award went to Kays Medical on 22 November 2021 for £108,000. The awarded contract period runs from 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2028. The tender described an estimated annual value of £15,000 to £18,000, with an estimated minimum total value of £90,000 and maximum value of £108,000 over the maximum term. The framework’s initial term was four years, with possible extensions of up to two further years in increments of up to 12 months. There was no guaranteed volume or value. The process is complete, and the recorded award is active.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future employee flu vaccination work with Nottinghamshire County Council. A credible competitor would need to deliver an annual workplace vaccination programme reliably across the council’s relevant locations, with sufficient clinical staff, vaccinators, booking and scheduling systems, governance, cold-chain arrangements, supplies and reporting processes. The requirement suits occupational health providers, pharmacies, healthcare organisations and specialist vaccination companies that can manage delivery at public-sector scale while maintaining safe clinical practice and a good employee experience. The successful supplier was an SME, demonstrating that the requirement can be serviced by a focused provider rather than only a large healthcare group. Businesses should be able to evidence comparable vaccination delivery, workforce capacity, mobilisation arrangements and compliance with applicable healthcare and information-governance requirements.
