## Summary

NHS England commissioned Covid-19 vaccination services for housebound patients across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The work is a health service involving mobile vaccination clinics delivered to patients in their homes, with the purpose of maintaining vaccination access and continuity after the previous provider withdrew. The requirement includes an existing trained workforce able to deliver the service and mobilise immediately. It is therefore suited to healthcare providers with experience of community or domiciliary vaccination, mobile clinical outreach and safeguarding housebound patients. The service is delivered across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, rather than at a single fixed NHS site. The procurement falls within health services and was handled under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, rather than the Procurement Act 2023.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PCL – Patient Care Locally CIC. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its estimated value is £86,272, comprising £65,000 plus item-of-service payments of £8.70 each, based on an estimate of 2,445 vaccinations. NHS England used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition because an urgent award was needed to avoid interruption after provider withdrawal and protect patient and public safety. One bid was recorded. Evaluation prioritised addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care, weighted at 100%; price carried a weighting of 0%. The tender is marked complete, the award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows a defined NHS need for reliable housebound vaccination delivery through mobile clinics, supported by an established trained workforce and rapid mobilisation. Competitors seeking similar work with NHS England would need to demonstrate safe, high-quality clinical outreach, robust workforce planning and the operational capacity to visit patients across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Credibility would also depend on maintaining continuity when an incumbent provider withdraws, managing patient and public safety risks, and delivering vaccinations in people’s homes rather than relying on a central clinic. The evaluation approach indicates that evidence of care quality, safety and immediate service resilience matters more than offering the lowest price. Community healthcare providers, vaccination specialists and social enterprises with mobile service infrastructure are the most closely aligned supplier types.
