Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned urgent vaccination catch-up clinics after children missed vaccinations. The health service is intended to give affected patients an opportunity to be vaccinated and address risks to patient and public safety. Delivery covers Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. The procurement is for health services (CPV 85100000), rather than a supply of vaccination products. One lot covered the regional service. The requirement called for a provider able to deliver clinics using an existing trained workforce and mobilise immediately, maintaining continuity for patients.

The procurement is awarded and the contract is active. Patient Care Locally CIC (PCL) was selected for the single lot; the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The contract runs from 10 to 31 October 2026, a three-week period, with a value of £37,210.90. NHS England used the urgent award route under Regulation 14 of the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, without prior publication of a competition. The stated reason was an unforeseen incident involving missed child vaccinations, where delay could prevent vaccination and put patient or public safety at risk. Evaluation gave all weight to addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care; price carried no weight.

For providers considering this buyer’s future vaccination catch-up requirements, the award indicates that rapid mobilisation and continuity of patient care are central. A credible competitor would need an existing trained workforce capable of delivering vaccination clinics across the named Midlands localities, and the capacity to respond to urgent unmet vaccination needs. Demonstrating how services can protect safety and quality of care is particularly important: those considerations determined the selection here, while price was not weighted. This was a short, region-wide service delivered by a selected provider with an immediately available workforce, so suppliers should be able to evidence practical staffing and deployment capability at that scale. The award shows demand for clinical service delivery, not merely vaccine supply.
