## Summary

Portsmouth City Council is set to contract an existing provider to continue delivering its Staff Flu Vaccination Programme. Classified under pharmacy services, this procurement falls within the services category and is crucial for enhancing seasonal flu vaccination access for council employees, especially those in contact with vulnerable groups. Geographically focused in Portsmouth, UK (Region UKJ31), the contract is confirmed under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, bypassing traditional public procurement directives. The procurement stage recently reached the award phase with the formal contract signed on 1st October 2025. The initial term commences on 15th October 2025, ending on 31st March 2027, with an option for a three-year extension, with a contract value totalling £12,500.

This procurement primarily presents an opportunity for SMEs in the healthcare and pharmacy services industry, particularly those experienced in vaccination service delivery. Criteria such as quality, innovation, integration, collaboration, and social value are pivotal, suggesting firms with a comprehensive capacity to deliver these elements are well-positioned to succeed. Although the tender was awarded via a limited, direct award process, it underscores the importance for businesses to maintain a strong relationship and track record with buying authorities like Portsmouth City Council, to be recognised for direct awarding opportunities in the future.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Portsmouth City Council intends to award a contract to an existing provider for the provision of an existing service, the staff flu vaccination programme, following Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023.
