Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of Seasonal Influenza Vaccines to NHS Scotland has been awarded to Seqirus UK Limited. Contracted by The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), this procurement falls under the Pharmaceutical products industry category. Two active contracts, signed on 18th December 2025, cater to the provision of vaccines for both over-65s and under-65s as recommended by the JCVI for the 2026/27 flu season. Delivered to the UKM region, the procurement was conducted via an open procedure aimed at benefiting from competitive pricing and quality. This contract highlights NHS Scotland’s commitment to ensuring public health through preventative measures, with a total combined value of approximately £14.8 million.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for pharma companies capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery criteria. The tender prioritises 90% on price and 10% on delivery timetable, inviting competitive businesses with a robust logistical framework to supply the required vaccines. While SMEs had the opportunity to engage, the sole award to Seqirus UK Limited indicates the demand for well-established players in the industry with proven delivery capabilities and necessary certifications like BS EN ISO 9001. Thus, the procurement serves as a pivotal entry point for large-scale suppliers looking to enhance their footprint within Scotland’s healthcare sector while contributing to vital public health objectives.
