Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), based in Edinburgh. The tender, titled "NP93826 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine," falls under the health industry category and involves the supply of influenza vaccines for the 2026/27 NHS Scotland Seasonal Flu Programme. The procurement was managed through an open procedure, with the contract valued at GBP 15,900,000. The process reached the award stage on 22 January 2026, with supply contracts signed on 18 December 2025. The tender addressed health needs across the UK region of Scotland (UKM) and was divided into three lots, focusing on different age demographics for flu vaccinations.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of healthcare and pharmaceutical goods, particularly those specialising in vaccines. With separate contracts awarded for different age groups—over 65s and under 65s—businesses catering to public health requirements can benefit from consistent demand driven by annual flu vaccination programmes. Ideal candidates would be large-scale manufacturers with established quality and technical credentials, such as a valid UK Marketing Authorisation approved by the MHRA, and those able to offer competitive pricing backed by thorough quality assurance schemes like BS EN ISO 9001 certification. Businesses committed to delivering within the NHS framework can further enhance their market position and contribute to Scotland's healthcare objectives.
