The aim of the School Aged Immunisation Service is to prevent the eligible population, which is defined as any eligible child attending a school, or not attending a school but registered with a GP and/or resident within the defined geographic boundaries, from developing vaccine preventable childhood diseases that are associated with significant mortality and morbidity.
The following vaccines, which form part of the national childhood immunisation programme, will be commissioned by the service with the purpose of preventing the infections and outbreaks caused by these organisms:
— diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis (Td/IPV adolescent booster);
— meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY);
— human papillomavirus (HPV);
— seasonal influenza (flu) immunisation programmes for school aged children (the cohort is expected to expand in future years); and
— measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) catch-up.

However,the service must be offered to 100 % of school aged children, with all reasonable steps taken to engage with children and young people that are home-schooled, from groups that find it difficult to access services, for example gypsy or traveller children, or looked after children who may require special and specific arrangements.
The contract duration will be for an initial term of 3 years, with a possible extension period up to a further 12 months, as defined and at the discretion of the Commissioner.
The expected service commencement date is the 1.4.2018, with a contract expiry of the 31.3.2021.
The contract will be commissioned on the following fixed tariff:
— Child influenza vaccine will be paid at 10 GBP (ex VAT) per immunisation administered
— All other Immunisation covered by this contract will be paid at 14.50 GBP (ex VAT) per immunisation administered.
