Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council procured a workforce influenza vaccination service under the community health services category (CPV 85323000). The provider delivers eligible employees’ flu vaccinations through on-site clinics across Lancashire, including council offices, highways depots and schools. The service is intended as a staff benefit and supports seasonal flu planning by the Department of Health and Social Care, the UK Health Security Agency and NHS England. It aims to improve access to vaccination for frontline workers, business-critical staff and employees working with vulnerable people, while reducing disruption to working hours. The service also supports workforce health, winter planning and reduced pressure on urgent and emergency care. Delivery is arranged on the Lancashire County Council Health Protection Team’s behalf.

This procurement has been awarded through a competitive Provider Selection Regime process using an open procedure. The contract was formally awarded on 25 August 2026 to H & A.K Fletcher Ltd, trading as Broadway Pharmacy with Cure Clinics; the contract records a value of £121,550. The approximate maximum lifetime value is £165,000, with actual spend dependent on vaccine uptake and service demand. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a possible one-year extension to 30 September 2029. The service clinics operate from 5 October to 30 November 2026 and 1 October to 30 November 2027. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, social value at 10% and price at 40%. Five electronic bids were received, all from SMEs.

This award shows established demand from Lancashire County Council for a mobile or on-site occupational vaccination provider able to organise seasonal influenza clinics across varied council workplaces. A credible future competitor would need the clinical capability to immunise eligible staff safely, deploy qualified vaccination personnel, and provide staff names and professional qualifications for the people assigned to delivery. Experience coordinating clinics in offices, depots and schools would be relevant, as would the capacity to handle concentrated seasonal activity across multiple locations and support arrangements outside normal working hours where required. Providers should also be able to manage employee access, informed consent, queries and uptake reporting, while demonstrating strong service quality and social value alongside competitive pricing.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Each year, the Department of Health and Social Care, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England develop an annual flu plan to guide local arrangements of seasonal flu vaccination delivery, based upon a co-ordinated and evidence-based approach. As a further support to this agenda, LCC undertake an annual workforce flu vaccination programme to promote the uptake of vaccination to frontline workers and business critical staff, to reduce the impact of flu in the population whilst supporting the improvement of staff absenteeism figures due to the flu virus. Results on service delivery of this programme are fed into local A+E Delivery Boards in support of winter planning by helping to vaccinate frontline staff, supporting the reduction in unplanned hospital admissions and pressure on A+E services. Raising awareness of the importance of the flu vaccination through national campaigns delivered locally, staff briefing sessions ensures informed consent for employees plus a dedicated mailbox for employee queries is also run throughout the flu season. Delivery of the on-site flu vaccine to LCC workforce on behalf of the Lancashire County Council Health Protection Team (LCC HPT), maximises protection for self, family and friends and particularly for those working frontline with high-risk, vulnerable groups and business critical services. Delivery of the on-site flu clinics enables a greater level of accessibility by delivering the free flu vaccination at site of work and out-of-hours if required, with zero disruption to working hours and responsibilities. Please note that the figures quoted in section II and section V are estimates of the total contract value and the initial contract value. Actual contract values will be based on vaccine uptake/demand. The estimated lifetime value of this contract is PS121,550. This is an intention to award notice under the PSR competitive process. The Service will operate as an on-site clinic model between the period of the 5th October 2026 to 30th November 2026 and 1st October 2027 to 30th November 2027. This is a new contract arrangement. The contract award criteria are specified in the procurement documents.

Renewal: The contract will have an initial term of 2 years with Lancashire County Council retaining the right to extend the contract by any number of defined periods provided that the total contract period does not exceed 1 year.
