Summary of the contracting process

The SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Needle Supply contract has been awarded by the UK Health Security Agency, located in London, for the supply of medical needles required for the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Campaign. This contract, completed under the NHS Supply Chain Syringes, Needles and Associated Products Framework, employs a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process reached the award stage on 18th November 2025, with the contract running until 30th April 2026. The procurement aligns with the "goods" category, predominantly in the medical supplies industry, with deliveries expected in the United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of medical equipment, particularly those focusing on medical needles. Although the contract is complete, businesses engaged in similar frameworks could benefit from future procurement opportunities by aligning with public health needs. Companies like SMEs, though not specifically suitable for this tender, could enhance their visibility and competitiveness by engaging in framework agreements with the NHS or similar agencies. Crest Medical Limited, an SME based in Warrington, successfully secured this contract, highlighting the potential for smaller scale companies to participate in large-scale public health contracts.
