II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Contracting Authority has procured 5 to 19 years Vaccination and Immunisation and Childhood Flu Services for North Yorkshire and York. The contract is to commence on 01 April 2018 and will be for a period of 3 years. Based on achievement of the KPIs within the contract documentation, the contract value for 2018/19 is 521080 GBP, 570028 GBP for 2019/20, and 618976 GBP for 2020/21.
This is an activity-based contract and reconciliations will be undertaken annually. It is important to note that financial years 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 include additional school years 5, 6, and 7 respectively to cover school aged flu.
