Notice Title
Supply agreement SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine
Notice Description
The procurement of the mRNA-1273 vaccine.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The procurement of the mRNA-1273 vaccine. Additional information: Contract value is being withheld due to commercial sensitivity (Reg 50(6)(b) and (c)). Publication may enable competitors to calculate cost per dose. This will commercially prejudice: (i) the supplier in its negotiations with other national governments; and (ii) the contracting authority in negotiations with other vaccine vendors. It may also impact fair competition between vaccine vendors.
Procurement Information
The award of the contract to Moderna is strictly necessary for unforeseeable reasons of extreme urgency; i.e. the urgent requirement to find a viable vaccine to end the Covid-19 pandemic (Regulation 32(2)(c)).
