Lot Information

Lot 1

There is a significant programme of work needed to address the health inequities in our health system which is why we need to commission vital resources that will enable us to develop a range of innovative solutions that encourage people to get vaccinated throughout our whole population. As we implement the National Vaccination Strategy over the next 2 years, our vision is to expand the remit of these services, to cover life-course and seasonal vaccines, we must also be ready to support the introduction of new vaccines, and respond in outbreak situations, much like the recent measles outbreak in LLR. Without these vital resources, we will undoubtedly disadvantage the most vulnerable people in our population, who already experience the highest levels of health inequality and therefore our goal is to target our resources to those most in need and address this inequity in all that we do. We look forward to working in partnership with our commissioned provider as we continue this challenging mission. Initially this service will focus efforts and resources on the following vaccines: Covid-19, flu, MMR, Pertussis and RSV, however over time the provider will be expected to work with the LLR system to develop the governance and operational delivery of vaccines across the life-course, including seasonal campaigns, routine vaccine programmes and during surge situations or outbreaks. This provision will include the following components: - Roving Healthcare Units - Community Street Team - Central Booking Service - Super Vaccinators - Operational Management Resource - Vaccine Management - Storage, maintenance and transportation of system surge equipment - Leadership - Community Engagement Please see the service specification for further detail. The anticipated contract value is circa PS1.2m per annum - this is subject to change, and it is indicative only at this stage. Additional information: At this stage this is a Pre-market engagement exercise. This engagement exercise will be operated via electronic means using the internet. Details will be made available via documentation and information released on the Atamis portal. To express interest, please register via Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome. Atamis Reference: C303824 Providers are requested to answer the questions within the requirement section when registering interest (via https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome ref C303824) by 12:00 hours on Thursday 7th of November 2024.
