This procurement process aims to secure a provider for delivering essential immunisation services to school-aged children in the Gloucestershire region. Key dates include a Market Engagement Event scheduled for 27th January 2017, where potential providers can express their interest. The tender documentation is expected to be made available in February 2017, with the service commencement projected for 1st April 2018. This tender presents excellent opportunities for healthcare providers specialising in public health services, particularly those experienced in immunisation and vaccination programmes. Businesses that provide health and social work services and have the capacity to adapt to government regulations and changing recommendations would be well-prepared to compete in this tender. Engaging in this contract could significantly enhance business growth by enabling providers to contribute to healthcare outcomes in the community while expanding their market presence in the public sector. ## Notice NHS England South (South Central) (the Commissioners) invite suitably qualified providers to attend a Market Engagement Event which will inform the market of their intention to re procure a School Aged Immunisation service to school aged children resident or attending school in the Gloucestershire area. NHS England South (South Central) will be the contracting and commissioning authority for the School Aged Immunisation service. The aim of the School Aged Immunisation service is to prevent school aged children from developing vaccine preventable childhood diseases that are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Commissioners are looking for a provider to deliver a high quality service across Gloucestershire. The provider will be commissioned to deliver the NHS MenACWY adolescent booster, Td/IPV, HPV immunisation programmes, MMR catch up and childhood influenza for children aged 5, 6 and 7 (school years 1, 2 and 3) of sufficient quantity and quality to prevent the infections and outbreaks caused by these organisms. This means achieving high levels of coverage across England as well as within upper tier local government areas and within the context of populations with protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010. The service provider will need to be adaptable to any new programmes recommended nationally. It is envisaged that the tender documentation for the re-procurement of these services will be available from February 2017, with an anticipated service commencement date for the NHS seasonal childhood influenza programme in September 2017, and the school aged immunisation programme from 1st April 2018. A separate advert will be published to alert interested parties when the tender documentation is available. The Market Engagement Event will be held on 27th January 2017 between 12:30 - 14:00 in Prout Room Sanger House 5220 Valiant Court Gloucester Business Park Brockworth Gloucester GL3 4FE Additional information: Providers wishing to attend the Market Engagement Event should email their interest to procurement@swcsu.nhs.uk by 12pm on Monday 23rd January 2017 with the following details: Name of attendee(s) Job Title of attendee(s) Organisation details, including address and contact details.
