Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the supply of Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (MMRV) vaccines for 2025 has been completed, with the UK Health Security Agency acting as the buying organisation. This procurement falls under the 'Vaccines' industry category, with deliveries required in the United Kingdom, particularly at locations in London with postal code E14 4PU. The process commenced as an open procedure and was awarded on 7th August 2025. The contract will span from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2029, with key details published on 29th August 2025. Allocations are not suitable for this procurement, and the tender was conducted above the threshold.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, specifically large entities as small and medium enterprises were deemed unsuitable. Companies capable of manufacturing and supplying vaccines at scale, such as those akin to Merck Sharpe & Dohme (UK) Limited and GlaxoSmithKline UK Ltd - Vaccines (both successful suppliers), are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The long-term contract period allows for sustained revenue streams and enhances business visibility within the national immunisation programme, fostering further growth and innovation in vaccine supply and healthcare delivery.
