Description

NHS England South West (the Commissioner) is seeking to secure Provider(s) who have the capability and capacity to deliver Local vaccination Outreach services, in line with the specified requirements. The outreach services will identify and address disparities in uptake of vaccinations. The service will support mitigation of gaps in core commissioned services and response to outbreaks where needed. The service will be delivered by taking a proactive approach to managing population health and inequalities. The outreach service will provide a versatile response to identified need and collaborate with existing providers of vaccinations in the geography to support addressing vaccination gaps and to compliment, not duplicate, existing commissioned vaccination services. Delivering all aged vaccinations and actively seeking those individuals and population groups with low vaccine uptake, coverage and are less likely to access core vaccination services. The tailored outreach vaccination service will run in parallel to an inclusive core delivery approach. We encourage bidders to explore opportunities for collaboration where this can deliver enhanced value and efficiency. Working together can help optimise resources, share expertise, and reduce duplication, ultimately benefiting service delivery and outcomes. Collaborative approaches may include forming consortium, subcontracting arrangements, or strategic partnerships that leverage complementary strengths. Bidders should clearly outline any proposed collaborative models within their submission, demonstrating how these arrangements will maintain accountability and deliver high-quality services. Where bidders are successful in securing more than one Lot, we expect them to optimise the use of non-delivery resources such as management, administration, and support functions. This approach should minimise overheads, avoid unnecessary duplication, and ensure that efficiencies are realised across all awarded Lots. This procurement covers 7 lots across the South West: Lot 1 - Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Lot 2 - Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW) Lot 3 - Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Lot 4 - Devon Lot 5 - Dorset Lot 6 - Gloucestershire Lot 7 - Somerset The contract duration is 3 years (36 months) with an optional extension of 12 months. Services are due to commence on 1st September 2026 with the first 3 year period ending 31st August 2029. TUPE is likely to apply. The maximum contract values for each lot per annum is as follows: Lot 1 - BNSSG - £350,325 Lot 2 - BSW- £256,299 Lot 3 - Cornwall - £340,548 Lot 4 - Devon - £407,284 Lot 5 - Dorset - £244,443 Lot 6 - Gloucestershire - £167,831 Lot 7 - Somerset - £233,270 The Commissioner has a maximum financial envelope across all 7 Lots of £2,000,000 per annum, including VAT. The total maximum contract value across all 7 Lots for the duration excluding extensions is £6,000,000 including VAT. Interested parties who wish to take part in the procurement are invited to take part in an Invitation to Tender (ITT) process, based on the competitive (open) procedure and designed to identify the most economically advantageous tender. All ITT responses must be submitted via the identified eProcurement system by 12 noon on 12th February 2026, at the latest. This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
