These include two significant contracts dated 22 April 2026, concerning the provision of Varicella-zoster immunoglobulin and Rabies Immunoglobulin, awarded to Grifols UK Limited and BIO PRODUCTS LABORATORY LIMITED, respectively. These contracts are classified under the CPV code for immune sera and immunoglobulins and cater predominantly to NHS bodies, local authorities and other public entities within the UK, Crown Dependencies, and British Overseas Territories. The procurement stage is at the contract update phase, and the various contract periods extend from May 2025 to April 2027, with the procurement method being open procedures.
