The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, in collaboration with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, is planning a procurement process for a project titled "CSP26499 - Flu Vaccine." The initiative entails the provision of over 2000 flu vaccination e-vouchers, with potential for increased procurement based on demand. Set within the sector of Medical Equipment, Pharmaceuticals, and Personal Care Products, the project spans various UK locations, including London, Cardiff, Belfast, and Edinburgh. Currently in the planning stage, key dates include the indicative contract start on 31st August 2026, with services commencing by 30th September 2026. An engagement milestone is scheduled for May 2026, targeting a market consultation deadline by 27th May 2025.

This procurement represents a significant business prospect, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that operate in the health and social work services sector. The opportunity allows suppliers to showcase their capability in providing a streamlined e-voucher system, which is crucial for meeting the operational needs detailed in the project scope. Businesses adept in agile service delivery and possessing robust digital solutions will find this tender aligning with their growth strategies, enabling them to deliver essential health service supports across the UK efficiently. With a project budget of £20,000 excluding VAT annually and a payment structure rewarding effective performance, the procurement is structured to incentivise timely and accountable service provision.

We would like the option of MI data, e.g number of vouchers requested, vouchers redeemed and vouchers remaining, with the option to redistribute unredeemed/cancelled vouchers if possible. The process for staff redeeming the vouchers should be clear and simple to the requester. The E-vouchers should be able to be redeemed at a local pharmacy across UK sites typically within a 5-mile radius of office locations which are: LONDON 26 Whitehall London SW1H LONDON OAB Annex Old Admiralty Building, London CARDIFF 2 Ty William Morgan 6 Central Square, Cardiff, CF10 1EP BELFAST Erskine House 20-32 Chichester House, Belfast BT1 4GF LONDON 100PS 100 Parliament Street LONDON 10 Victoria Street 10 Victoria Street, London GLASGOW 1 Atlantic Square, Glasgow, G2 8NJ ABERDEEN AB1 AB1, Crimon Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1BJ SHEFFIELD 1 St Paul's Place, Sheffield, S1 2NB YORK Foss House York NOTTINGHAM Loxley House Station Street, NG2 3NG, BRISTOL 2 Rivergate 2 Rivergate, Temple Quay, BS1 6EH BIRMINGHAM 23 Stephenson Street 23 Stephenson Street, Birmingham, B2 4BJ BRISTOL Glass Wharf 3 Glass Wharf, Bristol BS2 0EL BIRMINGHAM Victoria Square House 1 Pinfold Street, Birmingham B2 4AA NEWCASTLE City Gate City Gate, 6th Floor, Gallowgate, NUponT, NE1 4WH SALFORD Trinity Bridge House Salford, M3 5BS MANCHESTER 2 St Peter's Square Clarendon House, 2 St Peter's Sq, Manchester M2 3AA LONDON 2 22 Whitehall London SW1H CARDIFF 1 Companies House Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ EDINBURGH Queen Elizabeth House Sibbald Walk, Edinburgh, EH8 LONDON 3-8 Whitehall Place London SW1H LONDON 55 Whitehall London SW1H CAMBRIDGE Eastbrook Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 8DF DARLINGTON Feethams House Darlington, DL1 5AD LONDON Whitechapel Building 10 Whitechapel High St, London E1 8QS LEEDS 7&8 Wellington Place, Leeds, LS1 4AP BIRMINGHAM Edmund Street 120 Edmund Street, Birmingham B3 2QZ DARLINGTON Brunswick Brunswick St, Darlington DL1 1GB MANCHESTER Manchester Central Retail Park, Great Acolatse St, Manchester M4 6DJ ABERDEEN AB1 AB1, Crimon Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1BJ As this is an e-voucher system, we would expect an instant turnaround when staff request their voucher, with no later than 24 hours of staff receiving it to their email address and a response to any queries within 48 hours of contacting. Our proposed process is as follows: staff members request an e-voucher by entering their chosen email address, either through a link or an online portal. The e-voucher will then be sent to their specified email address within 24 hours. The email will include the voucher itself, along with clear instructions detailing how to redeem it, where it can be used, and the time frame in which it must be redeemed. We are open to alternative methods or processes from the above. The contract and service launch should be in place by 30th September 2026, for the scheme to be open for 6 months each year.

The E-vouchers should be able to be redeemed at a local pharmacy across UK sites typically within a 5-mile radius of office locations which are: LONDON 26 Whitehall London SW1H LONDON OAB Annex Old Admiralty Building, London CARDIFF 2 Ty William Morgan 6 Central Square, Cardiff, CF10 1EP BELFAST Erskine House 20-32 Chichester House, Belfast BT1 4GF LONDON 100PS 100 Parliament Street LONDON 10 Victoria Street 10 Victoria Street, London GLASGOW 1 Atlantic Square, Glasgow, G2 8NJ ABERDEEN AB1 AB1, Crimon Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1BJ SHEFFIELD 1 St Paul's Place, Sheffield, S1 2NB YORK Foss House York NOTTINGHAM Loxley House Station Street, NG2 3NG, BRISTOL 2 Rivergate 2 Rivergate, Temple Quay, BS1 6EH BIRMINGHAM 23 Stephenson Street 23 Stephenson Street, Birmingham, B2 4BJ BRISTOL Glass Wharf 3 Glass Wharf, Bristol BS2 0EL BIRMINGHAM Victoria Square House 1 Pinfold Street, Birmingham B2 4AA NEWCASTLE City Gate City Gate, 6th Floor, Gallowgate, NUponT, NE1 4WH SALFORD Trinity Bridge House Salford, M3 5BS MANCHESTER 2 St Peter's Square Clarendon House, 2 St Peter's Sq, Manchester M2 3AA LONDON 2 22 Whitehall London SW1H CARDIFF 1 Companies House Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ EDINBURGH Queen Elizabeth House Sibbald Walk, Edinburgh, EH8 LONDON 3-8 Whitehall Place London SW1H LONDON 55 Whitehall London SW1H CAMBRIDGE Eastbrook Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 8DF DARLINGTON Feethams House Darlington, DL1 5AD LONDON Whitechapel Building 10 Whitechapel High St, London E1 8QS LEEDS 7&8 Wellington Place, Leeds, LS1 4AP BIRMINGHAM Edmund Street 120 Edmund Street, Birmingham B3 2QZ DARLINGTON Brunswick Brunswick St, Darlington DL1 1GB MANCHESTER Manchester Central Retail Park, Great Acolatse St, Manchester M4 6DJ ABERDEEN AB1 AB1, Crimon Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1BJ As this is an e-voucher system, we would expect an instant turnaround when staff request their voucher, with no later than 24 hours of staff receiving it to their email address and a response to any queries within 48 hours of contacting. Our proposed process is as follows: staff members request an e-voucher by entering their chosen email address, either through a link or an online portal. The e-voucher will then be sent to their specified email address within 24 hours. The email will include the voucher itself, along with clear instructions detailing how to redeem it, where it can be used, and the time frame in which it must be redeemed. We are open to alternative methods or processes from the above. The contract and service launch should be in place by 30th September 2026, for the scheme to be open for 6 months each year. We do not anticipate any GDPR of personal information will be required, simply a work email address to send the e-voucher to.

To ensure that this procurement maximises appropriate bidder responses we have the following questions that we would like to pose to interested suppliers: 1. Supplier Capability and Supplier Capacity - a. Please can you confirm that you would have the relevant skills, capability and capacity to undertake the services detailed? b. Based on the information provided, please can you advise if you believe that the scope is clear and achievable? 2. Procurement Timescales - a. Based on the timescales for the procurement and services, please can you advise if your organisation would have capacity to provide a bid response and undertake the services within the timescales detailed? 3. Project Scope - a. Please can you advise if there is any additional information that you would require to ensure you have all the information required to submit a tender response? We are inviting interested suppliers to respond to the above questions by completing this questionnaire https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ccX9R85kkq by Wednesday 27th May 2025 By responding to the questionnaire, you will be engaging in non-competitive dialogue which will enable ICS to develop and assess the market's appetite, concerns and view on the formulation of its requirements. ICS may consider the information and responses received as part of the questionnaire to help inform the specification and further decision making in relation to the planning and conduct of the procurement, ensuring all valid options are considered. If only 1 supplier expresses interest, ICS will pursue a direct award. For the avoidance, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition. Not providing a response to the questionnaire shall not prevent any supplier from participating in a future procurement, nor is it intended that any information suppliers as part of the market consultation place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.",
