Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently in the tender stage for establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) titled "Contract Notice". This procurement process, classified under the "Vaccines" industry category, focuses on securing COVID-19 vaccines for future immunisation campaigns. The DPS is set to run from 2024 to 2028, with a potential total value of up to £1 billion. This initiative employs a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure, and the deadline for the tender period is 24th September 2028. The procurement covers multiple locations including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Europe, and several other regions worldwide.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of vaccines, particularly those with products geared towards COVID-19 protection. The DPS framework allows for flexible participation in future tenders, creating numerous chances for qualified suppliers to secure contracts within the specified time frame. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to apply. Businesses that can meet the dynamic needs of the UKHSA's vaccine procurement policies and are prepared to navigate the selective restricted procedure will find this to be a lucrative opportunity.
