## Summary

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has awarded a contract for the supply of seasonal influenza vaccines for use in the NHS Scotland 2025/26 seasonal flu programme. The procurement process, using an open procedure, included an accelerated timetable due to the urgent need to secure the required volumes from vaccine manufacturers before December. The contract covers the delivery of influenza vaccines specifically for adults aged 65 years and above, as well as for individuals aged 18 to 64 years, as recommended by the JCVI. The contract, valued at approximately £14.5 million, was awarded on 9th January 2025 to Seqirus UK Limited and involves the delivery of goods to a designated storage and distribution provider in the UK region of Scotland (UKM).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the pharmaceutical and healthcare supply industry, specifically those specialising in vaccine production and distribution. Companies with expertise in maintaining stringent quality standards, such as possessing valid UK Marketing Authorisations and certifications like BS EN ISO 9001, are well-positioned to compete for such contracts. By securing a contract with NHS Scotland, suppliers can achieve substantial business growth and long-term partnerships, particularly in ensuring public health preparedness and response. The tender also underscores the importance of community benefits and corporate social responsibility, encouraging suppliers to engage in community benefit initiatives through the NHS Scotland Community Benefits Gateway.
