Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield bought a flu voucher programme for its employees. The supplier provides vouchers that employees can activate to access influenza vaccination; the council is billed monthly. This is a supply of influenza vaccines delivered through a voucher arrangement, rather than a purchase of vaccination services directly by the council. The requirement serves the council’s workforce, with the buying organisation based in Wakefield. The contract description does not identify a separate delivery location, so the stated place is the council’s base rather than a confirmed vaccination site. The award covers one lot and is intended to give employees a way to obtain flu vaccinations while the council pays for activated vouchers through monthly billing.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to PRSM Services Ltd. The council signed the contract on 20 October 2026, with a contract period running from 20 October 2026 to 11 March 2027. Its stated gross value is £41,000. The process was described as below-threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. It was a single-lot procurement. The published information identifies the flu voucher programme and its delivery model, but gives no further detail about evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The awarded contract is active; the award itself is also recorded as active. The supplier is based in London, while the buyer is the Council of the City of Wakefield.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Wakefield Council, this award shows demand for an employee flu vaccination voucher service, with pay-as-activated vouchers and monthly billing to the council. A credible competitor would need a workable voucher platform and a route for employees to redeem vouchers for influenza vaccination, alongside the ability to track activations and support recurring monthly invoicing. The winning supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME; the procurement therefore provides an example of a single-lot, below-threshold purchase rather than a large multi-lot programme. Relevant capability is centred on arranging access to flu vaccination through vouchers and administering the associated employer billing. The council’s stated requirement concerns its own employees, so suppliers should be equipped to serve a defined workforce rather than a general public vaccination scheme.
