Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for the supply of influenza vaccines for the NHS Scotland 2025/26 seasonal flu programme. The contract, awarded under an open procedure, covers multiple lots, including influenza vaccines for adults aged 65 years and above, and for persons aged 18 to 64 years. The awarded supplier is Seqirus UK Limited, and the total contract value is £14,900,000. The goods are to be delivered to the Authority's nominated storage and distribution provider within the specified UK regions. The contract was signed on January 9, 2025, and the procurement stage is complete, having involved significant planning and accelerated procedures to meet urgent delivery schedules.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for large pharmaceutical suppliers specialising in vaccine production and distribution. Given the high value and the critical nature of the supply required for NHS Scotland, businesses capable of meeting stringent regulatory requirements and ISO certifications would be well-suited to compete. The involvement in such a prestigious public health programme not only guarantees substantial revenue but also bolsters the supplier's reputation and market position, paving the way for future procurement opportunities across the healthcare sector.
