Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has completed the procurement process for the supply of Baloxavir Marboxil Xofluza Antiviral. The contracting process concluded with a direct award to Roche Products Ltd, a decision influenced by the technical necessity of utilising a single supplier for this patented antiviral product. The procurement, falling under the category of pharmaceutical products, was finalised with the signing of the contract on 3rd November 2025, and the contract period runs from 4th November 2025 to 1st October 2026. The scope of the contract involves the delivery of goods to various regions across the UK, ensuring the availability of medical countermeasures in the event of public health needs.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities primarily for large-scale pharmaceutical companies with capabilities in delivering specific antiviral stocks, especially those that hold patents for unique medical products. Roche Products Ltd's involvement underscores the strategic importance such contracts can hold as part of governmental stockpile management for public health. Businesses in the pharmaceutical sector that have the capability to provide exclusive or patented medicines could find similar future procurement opportunities rewarding, as governments continue to secure necessary medical supplies to enhance national health security and preparedness.
