Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a staff winter vaccination programme, providing winter vaccinations for staff across the Trust. The service is classified as a health service and is centred on Bradford Royal Infirmary in Bradford. The requirement was for one service covering the Trust’s staff vaccination programme, intended to support a safe, effective and accessible programme and maximise staff uptake. The selected provider was Rimmington Pharmacy, a Bradford-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving Bradford, and the work is associated with its winter vaccination programme rather than with general patient vaccination or wider community pharmacy services.

The process is recorded as complete and the contract was awarded to Rimmington Pharmacy through a Provider Selection Regime direct award process without prior publication of a competition. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026, with a maximum approximate lifetime value of £50,000, VAT not applicable. One valid bid was recorded, valued at £50,000. The stated evaluation gave full weight to whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The five statutory criteria also prioritised quality and innovation and value, with medium importance given to integration, collaboration and service sustainability; access, health inequalities and choice; and social value. A subsequent amendment states that the Trust decided not to enter the contract on the original terms and that no contract was entered into under the intention-to-award notice.

This procurement shows demand from an NHS trust for a staff vaccination provider able to deliver an organised winter programme across a hospital setting. A credible future supplier would need pharmacy or vaccination-service capability, the operational capacity to vaccinate NHS staff at scale, and experience delivering a safe, effective and accessible service that achieves strong staff uptake. Evidence that an existing provider is performing satisfactorily is particularly important under this route, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate comparable delivery, reliable mobilisation, workforce competence and continuity of service. The buyer also expects value for money alongside quality and innovation, with attention to integration with Trust operations, collaboration, service sustainability, reducing access inequalities, facilitating choice and delivering social value.
