Summary of the contracting process

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency, has engaged in a procurement process titled "PHE_Scientific_Appointment of CDMO for vaccine production," focusing on certification services within the services industry category. This procurement targets operations in France, aligning with legal basis 32014L0025 (CELEX). The contract phase currently stands at an active award and contract status with an award update as of 20th October 2025. The contract value amounts to €1,498,047.01, covering a period from 25th June 2025 until 12th February 2026. The procurement was initiated for services concerning the review of IMPD and certification requirements, which involved suppliers like OXFORD BIOMEDICA (FRANCE) SAS.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses capable of providing certification services, specifically those already established in the European (particularly French) market. Large-scale service providers in the biomedical or pharmaceutical sectors, and those with existing capacity in certification processes, are well-positioned to benefit from engaging in similar procurement endeavours. Participation in such contracts can bolster a company's portfolio, enhance credibility in the scientific and medical fields, and potentially lead to expanded roles in vaccine production initiatives. Given the specific nature and substantial value of the contract, it is ideal for firms that can leverage resources to meet these sophisticated procurement requirements.
