Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has completed a contracting process for the supply of Under-18 SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in 2026. This procurement falls under the industry category of vaccines and was conducted through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system (DPS). The award stage is now complete, with the contract awarded on 16th June 2026. The contracting period extends from 16th June 2026 to 15th August 2027, and the delivery location is the United Kingdom, with a central address in London (E14 4PU). The contracting authority utilised a selective procurement method for this procurement process, and the tender period concluded on 14th April 2026.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for large-scale pharmaceutical companies, especially those specialising in vaccine production and supply. Given the competitive call-off process under the DPS, businesses with robust production capabilities and existing frameworks for public health contracts can benefit significantly. While the awarded contract with PFIZER LIMITED showcases the advantage of large-scale operations, other businesses can explore participation in future tenders as the government continues to invest in public health initiatives, thereby expanding their market presence and contributing to the health sector.
