Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a winter vaccination service for its staff, delivered across the Trust at Bradford Royal Infirmary in Bradford. The requirement is a staff vaccination programme intended to support safe, effective and accessible vaccination and maximise staff uptake. This is a healthcare service, rather than a supply of vaccines alone: the stated purpose is to provide the winter vaccination service to staff members across the Trust. The buyer is Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The service is associated with the Trust’s Winter Vaccination Programme and forms part of its staff health provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Rimmington Pharmacy through direct award process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award date is 29 September 2026. The service period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The stated lifetime contract value is £133,912, with VAT not applicable. The process used a limited award without prior publication of a competition. One bid was recorded. The Trust’s evaluation gave high importance to quality and innovation and to value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, and social value were given medium importance. The lot was marked cancelled in the tender data, although the later award information records an active award and signed contract.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for staff winter vaccination services within a hospital trust, with delivery centred on Bradford Royal Infirmary and intended to maximise workforce uptake. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this kind would need to show it can provide a safe, effective and accessible vaccination programme for hospital staff, as well as reliable delivery across the Trust. The stated evaluation priorities indicate that evidence of service quality and innovation, and a clear value-for-money case, would be central. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate effective integration and collaboration, sustainable service delivery, approaches that improve access and reduce health inequalities, and social value. The contract was awarded to an existing provider via the PSR direct award route, so relevant experience delivering this specific service for the Trust is commercially pertinent.
