Summary of the contracting process

The contracting authority, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care acting through the UK Health Security Agency, has concluded an unsuccessful procurement process for the "Rabies vaccine (2025)" contract, classified under the "Vaccines" category. This procurement falls under the "goods" main procurement category and was conducted using an open procedure. The process aimed to secure up to 62,400 doses of rabies vaccine with deliveries required over two years, and an option for an additional 24 months extension. Initially, the tender stage began on 24th July 2024 and the procurement method was open, covering regions across the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in pharmaceutical supply chains, especially those specialising in vaccines. While the contract has been marked as unsuccessful, companies that are capable of fulfilling the rigorous requirements in vaccine provision and delivery could find future tenders in this domain particularly advantageous. The procurement was intended to benefit various NHS bodies and other governmental and non-departmental bodies, potentially paving the way for substantial, long-term business partnerships within the UK's healthcare sector.
