## Summary

East Ayrshire Council, located in Kilmarnock, UK, conducted a procurement process to secure a service provider for their Flu Vaccination Programme. This tender falls under the pharmacy services industry category and involves delivering vaccination services to council employees between September and December each year, with possible sessions in January. The procurement followed an open method with submission deadlines for expressions of interest and bids in July 2025, and the contract was awarded to Ayrshire Medical Services on 2 September 2025 for a total value of GBP 88,000. The process reached its completion stage, ensuring timely delivery for the upcoming flu season.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services and vaccination programmes, particularly those capable of managing large-scale employee health services. The ability to deliver consistent quality, as highlighted by the award criteria (60% based on quality and 40% on price), emphasises the need for businesses with robust quality assurance processes. SMEs, like the awarded Ayrshire Medical Services, are well-suited to compete in such procurements, given their flexibility and potential for delivering specialised services tailored to regional needs.
