Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a social research and health project to improve uptake of the MMRV vaccine in Somali communities. The work involves co-producing, piloting and evaluating interventions with the community, mapping at least five priority interventions with key stakeholders. The approach includes one-to-one semi-structured interviews, focus groups and workshops. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations able to combine community engagement with research and evaluation, rather than suppliers providing vaccination services alone. Delivery is focused on Somali communities; no specific delivery town or site is identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the British Islamic Medical Association. NHS England used an open competition below the procurement threshold. The award was signed on 1 October 2026, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 May 2027. The contract value is £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). The tender was assessed on technical and social value, weighted at 80%, and price, weighted at 20%. It comprised one lot, with the requirement classified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates NHS England’s demand for a supplier able to work credibly with Somali communities to shape interventions, then pilot and evaluate them. A strong future competitor would need practical experience in community-based health research and evidence of engaging stakeholders through interviews, focus groups and workshops. The work also calls for the capability to identify and map multiple priority interventions and assess their effectiveness in supporting vaccine uptake. Since technical and social value carried substantially more weight than price, suppliers should be able to show a robust, culturally informed methodology and meaningful community involvement, alongside sound evaluation skills. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.
