The procurement aims to identify suppliers with quality vaccine products to supply the UK vaccine bank by March 2025. Defra is specifically interested in vaccines against lumpy skin disease, safety data, proposed doses, storage conditions, and manufacturing standards. This tender by Defra presents an opportunity for suppliers of veterinary vaccines to engage in a lucrative contract. Businesses with expertise in vaccine production, quality assurance, and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards would be well-suited to compete in this tender. Suppliers offering innovative solutions for lumpy skin disease vaccines and demonstrating a commitment to animal health and safety could gain a competitive edge in this procurement process. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to identify existing and potential suppliers of lumpy skin disease vaccine who have products with robust evidence of quality, safety, and efficacy. We are keen to hear from suppliers who are in a position to supply suitable lumpy skin disease vaccine products to the UK vaccine bank as early as March 2025. The Authority is specifically interested in: - Vaccines against lumpy skin disease. - The efficacy and period (onset and duration) of immunity in the target species. - Safety data in the target species. - The proposed number of doses in the vaccination schedule. - Storage conditions. - Any information that might be provided about potential cost. - Whether the vaccine is or will be manufactured under the conditions of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). - Whether quality aspects are considered such that the vaccine is manufactured and stored according to the WOAH Terrestrial Manual Chapter 3.4.12. Please note that the Authority will not be considering heterologous vaccine products. The Authority is seeking this information to inform decisions around guarantees of supply to the UK market. An estimated total value is therefore not provided at this stage. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Authority is exploring options for supply of vaccines to the UK Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) vaccine bank, for delivery by 28th March 2025. If a decision is taken to renew the vaccine bank for LSD, vaccine products must be available for use by the Authority from the commencement of any contract, either as an authorised product or for emergency use under Schedule 4 of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 (as amended). This could be as early as April 2025. The Authority will consider products which have good evidence of quality, safety and efficacy. The Authority will not consider heterologous vaccine products. The Authority is interested in: - The details of LSD vaccine products. - Number and size of dose. - Data on safety and efficacy. - Data on the onset and duration of immunity. - Storage conditions and bottle sizes available. - The type of technology used to develop the vaccine production capacity. - Species that can be vaccinated and any data on the minimum age that animals can be vaccinated. - Whether the vaccine is produced to GMP standard. - Whether the vaccine is manufactured and stored according to the WOAH Terrestrial Manual Chapter 3.4.12. - Whether the vaccine is currently authorised for use with a valid marketing authorisation, and if so where is the vaccine authorised. - Whether the vaccine has been used elsewhere in the world. - Timelines for submitting applications for a marketing authorisation to VMD (if relevant). - The likely cost of the product.
