Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "Ambient storage and distribution service for PIPP and EPRR" is being procured by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care through the UK Health Security Agency, based in London, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of storage and warehousing services. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, with amendments being made as of 13 January 2026. The contract was initially signed on 6 February 2023 and includes modifications which have increased its value from £55,253,000 to £98,120,000. The services are to be provided across the UK, with a contract period including extensions up to 1800 days. The amendments were necessitated by unforeseen circumstances during the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in modifications for service continuity. The procurement process adheres to the legal basis under the CELEX scheme 32014L0025, employing a tender initiation type.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the storage and distribution industry, particularly those with capabilities to manage large-scale and critical healthcare logistics. The current supplier is Movianto UK Limited, indicating that large-scale enterprises with proven capacity and compliance with regulatory frameworks will have a competitive edge. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in managing ambient storage for medical and emergency preparedness supplies and can meet unforeseen demands, as experienced during the pandemic, may find this contract particularly advantageous. The potential for further procurement processes, as the Authority prepares for a replacement contract, offers opportunities for future engagement and long-term business growth in this sector.

This accounts for a total extension value of ~PS22m of the additional spend as contractually permitted.<br/>2. The Contract was modified due to unforeseen circumstances during the Covid-19 pandemic under Regulation 72(1)(c). The modifications did not alter the overall nature of the Contract. <br/>2. There has been additional spend due to the unexpected volume of BAU services that became necessary and was not anticipated in the original contract value under Regulation 72(1)(b). The authority could not change the contractor due to economic and technical reasons and to do so would have caused significant inconvenience, duplication of cost, to the Authority, and disruption sufficient to risk public health harm during the Covid-19 pandemic.<br/>3. The Contract has been extended for a further 6 month period following the 12 + 12 month contractual extension period. This modification has been made in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) as ongoing services are required, to ensure continuity of services, during theperiod whilst the Authority prepares to and undertakes its replacement procurement process. <br/>4. Each modification made under Regulation 72(1)(b) and (c) did not result in an increase in price that exceeded 50% of the value of the contract. <br/><br/>5. The Authority will also be using the contractual termination assistance period of up to a maximum of 24 months to ensure service continuity while it reprocures, mobilises, and transitions to the replacement Contract. <br/>6. The Authority has commenced a new procurement process for the replacement Contract Storage & Distribution of Human Medicines, Vaccines & Associated Medical Product - Find a Tender",
