Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has successfully completed a direct award process for their COVID-19 vaccination programme covering the period from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026. The procurement falls under the health services industry and operates within the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKE region. The process, referred to as Direct Award Process B, adheres to the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, ensuring suppliers meet predefined criteria. The total budget is set at £100,000,000.00, applying an open procurement method facilitated through electronic submissions. Although initially active, the procurement stage now transitions into the completion phase, with key contract signings noted on 17 July 2025 and subsequent supplier details made available on Contracts Finder.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those specialising in COVID-19 vaccination delivery. Ideal candidates include NHS Standard Contract holders, PCN Groupings, Community Pharmacies, GP federations, independent sector providers, and charities, all required to propose a site based on certified healthcare premises. With no restrictions on the size of the business, SMEs maintain equal footing, encouraged to compete alongside larger entities. Potential suppliers can find growth opportunities through ongoing seasonal campaigns influenced by JCVI guidance, capitalising on the potential extension options of up to 12 months beyond the initial contract term.
