NHS England and NHS Improvement undertake an assessment of all potential sites which may be considered as part of the vaccination programme. This will include size, location, availability, suitability and will include an assessment around accessibility, aligned to the Equality Act 2010. Where there are running costs to be incurred, the site will also be subject to a value for money assessment. Sites will be secured under formal lease or licence.

Should venue owners have sites that they wish to put forward for use by the programme, submissions may be made to the Vaccine Taskforce and in conjunction with regional and local teams, an assessment of the offer will then be made.
