## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the supply of egg-based quadrivalent influenza vaccine by The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland) (NSS). This contract, identified as "Egg-based Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine," pertains to the goods industry, specifically within the health sector. The procurement method was limited, executed without prior publication of a competitive call, and the agreement was signed on 9 April 2021, valued at £5,000. Delivery was specified for a location in Haydock, UK, fulfilling requirements for the annual seasonal influenza immunisation programme.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses engaged in the pharmaceutical and vaccine sectors, particularly those capable of supplying influenza vaccines that cater to age-specific requirements. Given the limited competition since Aventis Pharma t/a Sanofi was the sole licenced supplier for this vaccine in the UK, companies that specialise in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and have the capacity for rapid vaccine production would be well-suited to participate in similar future procurement processes, potentially expanding their market reach and contributing to public health initiatives.
