Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting as part of the Crown through the UK Health Security Agency, is focused on providing pneumococcal vaccines for adults and at-risk groups in the United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the goods industry category, specifically vaccines (CPV 33651600), with deliveries commencing on 1st May 2025 and running until 30th April 2027, with an option to extend for up to an additional 24 months. The procurement is in the award stage with Pfizer Ltd being the awarded supplier. Key dates include bid submissions closing on 27th June 2024, which is also the date for bid opening.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for companies involved in pharmacology and medical supplies, particularly those specialising in vaccine production and distribution. The extensive delivery area, covering the entirety of the UK and potentially extending to the UK devolved administrations and British Overseas Territories, represents a substantial market. Companies with experience in handling large-scale governmental health contracts, and the ability to ensure clinical and cost effectiveness, as well as efficient storage and distribution of vaccines, will be well-positioned to compete for extensions and similar future contracts.
