The contract falls under the industry category of Pharmaceutical products. The procurement method used was a Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold). The contract period is from August 11, 2021, to March 31, 2022. The buying organization is based in London, with a postal code of SW1H 0EU. This tender for the supply of pandemic therapeutic goods presents business growth opportunities for companies in the pharmaceutical industry. Businesses with expertise in manufacturing and supplying pharmaceutical products would be well-suited to compete. The Department of Health and Social Care's decision to award the contract creates a pathway for suppliers to contribute to the critical need for mAbs that neutralise COVID-19 variants in the United Kingdom. ## Notice The evolution of the UK's pandemic response has highlighted the critical importance and economic value of a multi-layered and comprehensive approach to COVID-19. The need for antibodies and other therapeutics has always been under consideration, the mutation of the virus and the risk this poses on antibody and vaccine efficacy has only recently been properly identified and still requires further academic studies. These unforeseen circumstances mean there is now a critical, urgent need to procure and deploy a new class of mAbs, that can neutralise any COVID-19 variant. These neutralising mAbs provide protection to a cohort of the population who, for medical reasons, cannot mount an appropriate immune response to vaccination or, for whatever reason, do not get vaccinated and are also at higher risk of hospitalisation or death. This agreement is for the procurement of 100,008 units of Sotrovimab (VIR-7831). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38d642fb-7004-4ea2-b03e-cc4ca9026c00 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 10 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Aug 2021 | | Contract period | 10 Aug 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE | | Additional buyers | ATAMIS LTD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GLAXOSMITHKLINE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33600000 - Pharmaceutical products ## Release History - 15 Nov 2022 at 15:51 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38d642fb-7004-4ea2-b03e-cc4ca9026c00 - 15 Nov 2022 at 15:45 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2428e45e-3471-480f-843a-2f42f7671cf9 - 20 Oct 2022 at 11:10 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2428e45e-3471-480f-843a-2f42f7671cf9 - 18 Nov 2021 at 09:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2428e45e-3471-480f-843a-2f42f7671cf9 - 13 Sep 2021 at 08:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1b4509e-7d67-4bc2-9b2b-e5679bc70511 - 10 Sep 2021 at 21:15 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d844bcf0-79da-4bb0-b603-92bb0211b8e5 - 10 Sep 2021 at 21:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04e9e1a9-628f-4b2f-b2d5-f975915197f7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38d642fb-7004-4ea2-b03e-cc4ca9026c00 15th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2428e45e-3471-480f-843a-2f42f7671cf9 15th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1b4509e-7d67-4bc2-9b2b-e5679bc70511 13th September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d844bcf0-79da-4bb0-b603-92bb0211b8e5 10th September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04e9e1a9-628f-4b2f-b2d5-f975915197f7 10th September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/4J000000NSwP/pjSQ7yA_zbc6DjtbgZZGNF0lkkxXT0QGumfdmJKcHvg Final Windermere redacted contract - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/8d000000Gxir/rJJUCfPZFGnSIyT85Wcf_lplPJuR0kcNZ26muX6.CoE Final TTF redacted contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0a306c10-6001-4fbe-b13c-6d7770fc1869 Redacted Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/292e3cc5-fbae-4632-8ec8-dd9596c4d508 Final TTF redacted contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
