Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care, which has initiated a contract for the supply of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, classified under the vaccines industry category. The procurement method is limited, and the tender was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to exclusive licensing held by a particular supplier. Deliveries of the vaccine are required from 1 March 2021 to 28 February 2025, and the contract is based in Bedford, UK. This tender has reached the award stage, with a successful bid from Merck Sharpe and Dohme (UK) Limited.

This opportunity may be of interest primarily to businesses within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, particularly those specialising in vaccine production and distribution. As the contract involves a product with a unique global licence, companies that are established in the vaccine supply chain or have capabilities in related health services could find opportunities for growth by aligning their offerings with the requirements of the NHS and other healthcare bodies involved in vaccination programmes across the UK and its territories.
