Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which has initiated a tender for the supply of an Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine as part of the seasonal immunisation programme. Located in Edinburgh, the solicitation is currently at the Award stage following a limited procurement method that did not require prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £10,000,000, was signed on 9 April 2021, with the delivery location specified as Movianto in Haydock.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in pharmaceutical and healthcare supplies, as the exclusive nature of the contract led to limited competition. Companies involved in vaccine production or distribution would be particularly well-suited to explore similar future contracts, as healthcare initiatives like this tend to be recurrent, especially in response to public health needs. Overall, suppliers with relevant experience and capabilities in the healthcare sector should consider engaging with NHS Scotland for potential collaborations on future tenders.
