## Summary

The current procurement process, initiated by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care acting as part of the Crown through the UK Health Security Agency, focuses on the supply of an inactivated influenza vaccine for children for the 2025 flu season. This tender, classified under the CPV code for influenza vaccines, involves the open procurement of goods covering healthcare in England and Wales. The procurement method is open, allowing for an open procedure that commenced with a tender period ending on 11th November 2024. This contract will be implemented over the 2025/26 flu season, with the possibility of extending the contract twice for up to 12 months each, located in Bedford, UK. The procurement process has moved to the award stage as of April 2025, signifying the completion of the tender process with Seqirus UK Limited having been contracted as the supplier.

This procurement exercise offers significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, especially those specialising in vaccine production and supply. Companies that have the capability to manage large-scale production and distribution of influenza vaccines would stand to benefit from this lucrative contract with the UK Health Security Agency. The open procedure encourages broad competition, which is ideally suited for large-scale pharmaceutical enterprises looking to expand their reach within the UK health sector. Given the involvement of government bodies in this process, participating businesses are expected to have a strong compliance framework in place to meet the rigorous quality, risk management, and cost benchmarks specified in the award criteria.
