Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council recently completed a procurement process for the "NCC1668 School Immunisation Service," focusing on vaccinating 2-3-year-olds in school nurseries and expanding maternity vaccination services. This contract, which falls under the health and social work services category, was awarded through a direct award process below the threshold without competition, specifically within the light-touch regime. The procurement involves services in the Northumberland region, with the contract being officially active as of 15th June 2026 and scheduled to run until 30th September 2027.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly in immunisation and maternal health, to engage with sub-central government entities such as Northumberland County Council. Organisations that provide scalable and efficient vaccination solutions will be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Collaborating with local authorities to address health inequalities through targeted immunisation programmes could enhance growth prospects and establish a strong presence in the public healthcare service sector.
