Summary of the contracting process

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy is conducting a procurement process titled "Deed of Amendment," centred on the supply of the Covid-19 BNT162b2 Vaccine. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within the vaccine industry, and is classified as a limited procurement method due to the necessity of awarding the contract to Pfizer Ltd without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 29th March 2021, and the procurement has been completed, although the initial lot for procurement was cancelled.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the pharmaceutical and supply sectors, particularly for businesses that can provide innovative or supplementary solutions related to vaccine logistics, production, or distribution. Companies especially skilled in handling vaccines or those with robust supply chain capabilities would be well-positioned to compete in future opportunities stemming from this procurement initiative, as it may lead to additional projects focused on public health and safety measures.
