II.1.4) Short 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.
