Notice summaryFrom the published notice

Travel risk assessments, advice and vaccinations (if required) are provided to reduce the risk of transmission of diseases amongst patients and their families including children travelling to countries where these diseases are still prevalent, to contribute to the protection of individuals who may have a suboptimal response to their own immunisations, or to avoid disruption to services that provide their care. The four vaccinations provided by the NHS and included in this service offering are Revaxis, Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Cholera. NHSGGC therefore is required to secure a model of delivery.

Published requirement description

Travel risk assessments, advice and vaccinations (if required) are provided to reduce the risk of transmission of diseases amongst patients and their families including children travelling to countries where these diseases are still prevalent, to contribute to the protection of individuals who may have a suboptimal response to their own immunisations, or to avoid disruption to services that provide their care. The four vaccinations provided by the NHS and included in this service offering are Revaxis, Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Cholera.

The introduction of the new Standard General Medical Services (GMS) Contract and the related Vaccine Transformation Programme (VTP) has created an opportunity for a new provider of travel risk assessment and vaccinations in NHS GGC.

From April 2022, General Practitioners will no longer deliver travel vaccinations to their patients as part of the proposed changes in the Vaccine Transformation Programme (VTP).

NHSGGC therefore is required to secure a model of delivery.

Lots and requirements (8)Procurement structure

8 lots · no lot values published · same evaluation weights on every lot
Shared scope across all lots

Applies to lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

The objective of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Travel Health Service is to provide a “one-stop” patient-centred, comprehensive, consistent and accessible travel advice and vaccination service for patients.

The Service is available to all travellers who require advice and / or vaccinations for travelling to a destination considered at risk of tropical disease. This service includes the provision of vaccinations to children. More generic advice on travel can be sought on line for those patients who have IT access and literacy.

Travel Vaccinations provided by the NHS will be available, as required, to eligible patients under the terms of the NHSGGC Patient Group Directions (PGD’s) for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera and Revaxis.

The vaccinations specified in the Scottish Statement of Financial Entitlements (SFE) or subsequent legislation must be provided as free to the traveller as part of NHS provision. The vaccinations or oral medication listed in the SFE will be subject to subsequent legislation.

The vaccinations or oral medication not listed in the SFE, but otherwise indicated as appropriate in the provision of travel health prophylaxis, will be charged for as a private prescription

Treatment offered must not be restricted to that available on the NHS, but should include that which would incur a fee payable by the traveller, e.g. for malaria, rabies, yellow fever, Japanese Encephalitis Meningitis ACWY, Hepatitis B and tick-born encephalitis. The aim is to provide a complete travel advice service that incorporates those elements available on the NHS with the opportunity to access and pay for those not available through the NHS.

The Provider will be responsible for the provision of immunisation advice (both written and verbal) to the patient and / or parent / guardian of a child.
