Summary of the contracting process

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is procuring community services for a unified, flexible COVID vaccination community-champions campaign across West Yorkshire. The model is centrally coordinated but locally delivered and led by voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. It builds on successful local pilots to increase vaccination uptake, reduce health inequalities and support underserved communities. The work falls within community service provision and is intended for delivery throughout West Yorkshire. The requirement covers a single service package, rather than separate geographical or service lots. It is relevant to organisations that can work with communities experiencing barriers to vaccination and operate as, or alongside, VCSE-led local delivery partners.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award using an urgent procurement rationale. The award date is 19 August 2026, with Third Sector Leaders Kirklees selected as supplier. The award is recorded as pending, with a scheduled signature milestone due by 2 September 2026 and a standstill period ending on 1 September 2026. The awarded value is £350,000 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract period is 3 September 2026 to 31 May 2027. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold. One completed lot covers the full requirement, and that lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future work from NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, this award demonstrates demand for community-led vaccination support delivered at West Yorkshire scale. A credible competitor would need to engage underserved communities, increase vaccine uptake and address inequalities through trusted local relationships. It would also need to operate within a centrally coordinated model while organising flexible delivery through local communities and VCSE partners. Relevant experience includes running community outreach or public-health campaigns, translating central objectives into locally appropriate activity, and working with groups that face barriers to vaccination. Smaller organisations and VCSEs are particularly aligned with the stated suitability of the requirement, either as lead providers or delivery partners.
