The purpose of this market engagement is to gather insights from potential providers ahead of a formal tender for immunisation services, scheduled to commence on 1st September 2020. A crucial engagement event will take place on 17th September 2019, with a deadline for registration set for 12 noon on 13th September 2019. This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in health services. Companies that can provide immunisation services, including seasonal flu shots and other important vaccinations for children and young people across the East of England, would be well-positioned to compete.
