The current School Aged Immunisation Service contract expires on 31 August 2026. The service shall follow a national service specification. All details, including the specification has been made available as part of the procurement document suite on the Atamis portal.
School Aged Immunisation Services are required to be delivered predominantly in a school setting and currently covers;
* Human Papillomavirus (HPV)vaccinations
* Diphtheria, Tetanus and Poliomyelitis(Td/IPV) booster

* Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) catch up vaccinations
* School-aged children's Seasonal Influenza vaccinations
The provider will also deliver a catch-up service for children and young people with any of the above missing vaccinations. It is important to note that vaccination schedules can change and evolve in the light of emerging best practice and scientific evidence and as such additional services may be added during the lifetime of the contract to best deliver the needs of the overall service. The Provider is required to reflect these changes accordingly in a timely way with agreement from the Commissioner. These vaccines form part of the national routine childhood vaccination programme, which aims to prevent school-aged children from developing vaccine preventable childhood diseases that are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. High uptake of vaccinations in this population also helps to protect the wider community through herd immunity.
