## Summary

The procurement process titled "Community Pharmacy DCC Employee Flu Vaccination" is being conducted by Durham County Council, focusing on the healthcare industry category. This tender is at the award stage, with a contract value of £500,000. The contract period commences on 2nd February 2022 and extends until 31st March 2025. The tender was initiated to enhance flu immunisation among the population in County Durham, with individual contracts in place for all 126 local pharmacies, aiming to streamline service delivery and reduce administrative burdens.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pharmacy sector seeking to expand their service offerings. Businesses equipped to provide flu vaccination services are particularly encouraged to participate, as these longer-term contracts provide stability and a chance to enhance health services within the community. By engaging with this procurement process, eligible pharmacies can contribute to public health strategies while securing a valuable contract with the local council.

## Notice

The Community Pharmacy DCC Employee Flu Vaccination Service forms part of the council's Seasonal Winter Health Strategy and Implementation Plan. It contributes to a strategic response to improve and maintain health during the winter months by increasing flu immunisation uptake rates across the population. To reduce the administrative burden on pharmacies, it has been agreed with the Local Pharmaceutical Committee to implement longer-term contracts. This has been approved by Public Health Senior Management Team and the request is therefore to put in place longer-term 3+1+1 contracts with pharmacies. All 126 County Durham pharmacies are included and will have individual contracts for service delivery.
