Portsmouth City Council intends to award a contract to an existing provider for the provision of an existing service, the staff flu vaccination programme, following Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023.

This Service will increase the provision of and access to seasonal influenza immunisation for eligible employees of Portsmouth City Council (including Councillors and Port staff), HIOW ICB and Gosport Borough Council. In particular, the quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine that the Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisations (JCVI) recommend is issued to frontline health and social care workers.

The provision of this service is expected to facilitate flu vaccine uptake, especially among those working with vulnerable/at risk clients. This is to reduce the serious morbidity and mortality of influenza by immunising those who care for individuals who are more likely to have a serious or complicated illness should they develop influenza.

It is intended that the initial contract term will be from 15th October 2025 to 31st March 2027, with the option to extend for a further 3 years, with a total contract value of £12,500.

Delivery: South East

Extensions: It is intended that the initial contract term will be from 15th October 2025 to 31st March 2027, with the option to extend for a further 3 years, with a total contract value of £12,500.
