Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the provision of European Viper Antivenom is being overseen by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting as part of the Crown through the UK Health Security Agency. This contract, identified by "CM/PHV/24/152932", involves the supply of pharmaceutical products and falls within the goods industry category, predominantly targeting the UK region for delivery. The procurement follows an open procedure, with the contract extension entailing further opportunities to supply up to 2,200 units over two years, commencing on 1st May 2024 and potentially extending through to 30th April 2028. This procurement is currently in the award and contract stages, where key updates were made in April 2026, reflecting modifications that extended the contract duration by 12 months due to increased product volume requirements. Initial award updates date back to November 2023.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution. With flexibility for contract extension, it caters to established firms capable of handling large-scale production and distribution demands. Companies that can ensure product reliability and risk-free programme delivery may find this procurement suitable, as the award criteria emphasise these aspects alongside social value, with a considerable portion of valuation driven by the competitive pricing for the antivenom. Flynn Pharma Ltd, a large supplier headquartered in Stevenage, UK, is currently active in this contract phase, indicating potential collaboration or competition opportunities for similar business entities within the pharmaceutical sector. Engaging in this process allows companies to strengthen ties with the UK Health Security Agency and other NHS bodies, extending their market reach across Britain's healthcare landscape including its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
