## Summary

The procurement process detailed herein is conducted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, focusing on the "NHSGGC0601 - Travel Health" initiative. This tender, classified under health and social work services, is currently in the active stage. The process is set to conclude with its bid opening date on 10 February 2022, and it is being managed through an open procedure procurement method. The NHS is seeking providers for travel risk assessments and vaccinations, essential for protecting public health, particularly for patients and their families travelling to areas where certain diseases remain prevalent.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering travel health assessments and vaccination services. Suppliers with expertise in managing immunisation protocols, particularly under the new Vaccine Transformation Programme, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The scope of the contract includes provisions for various vaccinations and associated services, making it an attractive proposition for both small and medium-sized enterprises within the healthcare sector looking to expand their reach and capabilities within the public sector.

## Notice

Travel risk assessments, advice and vaccinations (if required) are provided to reduce the risk of transmission of diseases amongst patients and their families including children travelling to countries where these diseases are still prevalent, to contribute to the protection of individuals who may have a suboptimal response to their own immunisations, or to avoid disruption to services that provide their care. The four vaccinations provided by the NHS and included in this service offering are Revaxis, Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Cholera. The introduction of the new Standard General Medical Services (GMS) Contract and the related Vaccine Transformation Programme (VTP) has created an opportunity for a new provider of travel risk assessment and vaccinations in NHS GGC. From April 2022, General Practitioners will no longer deliver travel vaccinations to their patients as part of the proposed changes in the Vaccine Transformation Programme (VTP). NHSGGC therefore is required to secure a model of delivery.
