Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting on behalf of the UK Health Security Agency, involves a series of contracts for the supply of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines across various demographic groups in the United Kingdom. Notably, recent contracts have been awarded for the supply of vaccines targeted at under-18s and adults for the year 2026, via the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) established in 2024 for COVID-19 immunisation campaigns. These procurement processes utilise a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, covering the offering of goods classified under the vaccines industry category. The most recent contracts, awarded to Pfizer Limited and Accord-UK Ltd, indicate that procurement stages have progressed to the award phase, with active contract statuses confirmed in June and July 2026, respectively. The delivery locations for these contracts are primarily based in London, and the contracts involve significant collaboration with NHS and non-NHS bodies within the UK.

These procurement opportunities present a substantial business growth potential for suppliers specialising in vaccine production and distribution. Companies with capabilities in developing, updating, and delivering healthcare products, particularly those with expertise in immunisation programmes, are well-positioned to compete. As these contracts are based on a competitive tendering process within a dynamic purchasing system, suppliers can benefit from participating in a large-scale healthcare enhancement initiative, driven by the strategic objectives of the UK Health Security Agency. With a total potential procurement value reaching up to £1 billion over the DPS period, firms with strong social value propositions and cost-effective solutions per dose are encouraged to engage, especially those that can meet the stringent quality and responsiveness benchmarks set by the procurement authority.
