## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is conducting an open tender for the "NHSGGC0601 - Travel Health" service, aimed at providing travel risk assessments, advice, and vaccinations in Glasgow, UK. This procurement falls under the health sector and is currently at the award stage after the tender period ended on 10th February 2022. The awarded contracts will cover various regions including Glasgow North East, Glasgow North West, and other areas, with significant services starting in April 2022 following changes in the Vaccine Transformation Programme. The tender process was initiated due to new requirements for NHS service delivery, necessitating a model for travel health provisions.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in health services, particularly in travel medicine and vaccinations. Businesses that specialise in public health, immunisation services, and travel health advisory would be particularly well-suited to compete. The expectation is for providers to deliver comprehensive, patient-centred services in a region where demand for travel health services is likely to increase, offering a significant avenue for business engagement and revenue generation.

## 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.
