Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured specialised pharmaceutical logistics and warehouse services for vaccination and immunisation programmes. The provider manages the supply-chain network for vaccine commissioning, storage, retrieval and distribution, alongside related consumables, delivering supplies to frontline healthcare settings across England. Destinations include community pharmacies, general practices, detained estates and other healthcare locations, serving more than 11,000 sites. The requirement supports national vaccination and screening programmes across NHS England’s portfolio. This is a large-scale, end-to-end service rather than a standalone warehousing task: the supplier must coordinate stock held in storage with onward distribution to diverse healthcare destinations. The work falls within pharmaceutical storage, warehousing and retrieval services.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Movianto UK Limited following an open procedure. The award was made on 27 March 2026, and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. Its awarded value is £34,222,191 excluding VAT (£41,066,629.10 including VAT). The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 6 August 2031, with an option to extend to 6 August 2033. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted technical service delivery and quality at 60%, price at 30%, and social value at 10%; bidders also had to pass the procurement-specific questionnaire and participation conditions. Financial and technical capacity formed part of the selection criteria. Three valid bids were received.

For suppliers assessing future NHS England demand, this award shows the capability needed to deliver an integrated pharmaceutical logistics operation at national scale. Credible competitors will need suitable warehouse and retrieval capacity, dependable distribution to a very broad range of healthcare settings, and robust control of vaccine and other stock through storage and transport. The service measures require reliable, complete, on-time deliveries, prevention of loss or damage, responsive order handling and query resolution, and accurate reporting delivered on time. Strong evidence of operational readiness and service quality will matter, alongside a competitive commercial offer and a clear contribution to social value, including resilient supply chains, jobs and skills, environmental stewardship, equal opportunity and community wellbeing. The award followed competition among three valid suppliers; SMEs did not submit final-stage bids.
