This initiative seeks to gather market input to aid in the development of a formal proposal for immunisation services aimed at children and young people across Essex and the East of England. The engagement deadline for interested organisations to submit their responses is set for 10:00 am on 19 August 2019, with documents being circulated through relevant market engagement notices published on 31 July 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health services. Businesses capable of delivering comprehensive immunisation services, including seasonal flu vaccinations and other childhood immunisations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this market assessment not only helps shape the service to meet community needs but also positions businesses favourably for future formal procurement opportunities arising from this initiative. ## Notice NHS Arden and GEM CSU on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement - East of England (referred to as the Commissioners) is seeking market input to support the development of its proposal prior to publication of the formal procurement opportunity "Provision of Community & School Aged Immunisation Services across Essex and East Anglia".
