PHE - National Infection Service - GP Data Supply to PHE Via ImmForm

Public Health England (PHE) has a critical need to report on the performance of the national immunisation programmes. In order to do this GP's are required to submit 'vaccine issued' data to PHE. There are currently four main GP IT system providers who cover the vast majority of the UK. The four GP IT suppliers are: - Egton Medical Information Systems (EMIS) - The Phoenix Partnership - INPS Vision - Microtest The contract is for extracting the data from GP's, processing the data and then forwarding to PHE. The supplier is required to complete weekly, monthly and annual vaccine extractions. GP's are compelled to choose only from one of the four suppliers listed above for vaccine data collection. As a result there is no scope to introduce additional suppliers to the market. The volume of the market allocated to each of the four suppliers is dictated by the GP's choice of supplier. The contract for the supplier to complete this service will be for 1 year with the option of a +1 year extension and a second +1 year extension.
