## Summary

Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council’s staff flu vaccination programme provides seasonal influenza vaccinations for the council workforce. It is a preventative workplace health service intended to protect staff, reduce winter illness affecting council services and support workforce wellbeing. Delivery combines workplace vaccination clinics with provision through community pharmacies in Bolton. The programme forms part of the council’s wider focus on prevention, staff health and organisational resilience during winter. The requirement is for medical personnel and pharmacy providers able to deliver vaccinations to council staff through these local channels.

The contract was awarded to 11 pharmacy providers: A1 Pharmacy, Asda Pharmacy Ltd, Georgemead Ltd, Everest Pharmacy Ltd, Halliwell Late Night Pharmacy, Hollowood Chemists Ltd, Landmark Pharmacy, Manor Pharmacy, Noble & Peacock Pharmacy, Pharmavon Ltd and Rowlands Pharmacy. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior competition under the Provider Selection Regime. The stated assessment basis was whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and was likely to deliver the proposed contract to a sufficient standard; the criterion was marked as cost. The data gives no award date or contract duration.

This award shows demand for a locally delivered staff vaccination service that can operate through both workplace clinics and community pharmacies. A credible provider needs the ability to coordinate pharmacy delivery across Bolton, engage pharmacies early and maintain reliable operational arrangements. Familiarity with council workplaces and established local pharmacy relationships are relevant strengths, as is the capacity to put the service in place ahead of the seasonal flu period. The stated experience from previous delivery points to sustained demand, high staff satisfaction and increasing uptake, so providers should be able to support accessible delivery and workforce participation at scale. Continuity and dependable service delivery matter because the programme is intended to protect council staffing and winter service resilience.
