NHS England Public Health Commissioning Teams are responsible for the commissioning of local SAI services under the Section 7a mandate in line with the national programme requirements and a national service specification.

The current contract with the incumbent provider ends on the 31st July 2023, and the new contract will commence on 1st August 2023 with a 6 year initial term and the option to extend for up to 2 further years. NHSESW wish to secure the delivery of a high quality and safe immunisation service which achieves the highest possible coverage and in turn prevent avoidable illness and protect population health.
