Summary of the contracting process

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, located at 1 Victoria Street, London, is engaged in a complete procurement process for a supply agreement related to the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine, classified under the goods category (CPV code: 33651600 - Vaccines). This limited procurement method was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, driven by extreme urgency due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract was signed on 31 December 2020, however, specific contract end dates are not disclosed for reasons related to public interest and commercial sensitivity.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for companies involved in vaccine production and related health sectors, particularly those equipped to respond rapidly to urgent public health needs. Businesses that specialise in pharmaceutical manufacturing, distribution of medical supplies, or innovative healthcare solutions may find this an ideal competitive landscape, given the pressing demand for vaccines and treatment options in light of ongoing global health challenges.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

It may also impact fair competition between vaccine vendors.
