## Summary

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care acting through the UK Health Security Agency has engaged in a procurement process for the provision of Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (MMRV) vaccine as part of the national immunisation programme in the United Kingdom. This contracting process falls under the Vaccines category in the healthcare industry, with a procurement method of open procedure. The most recent stage was an award, dated 29th August 2025, following an initial tender stage that had a deadline of 10th March 2025. The contract for vaccine distribution started on 1st October 2025 with supplies to be delivered to various UK regions over two years with an optional extension. The contracting phase was completed by signature on 7th August 2025, involving suppliers Merck Sharp and Dohme (UK) Limited and GlaxoSmithKline UK Limited.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies experienced in vaccine production and distribution. Companies within the healthcare sector that specialise in goods procurement and meet the technical and economic selection criteria would find themselves well-suited to compete in such tenders. The opportunity to engage in the UK's extensive immunisation programmes across devolved administrations, Crown Dependencies, and British Overseas Territories offers a significant market expansion potential. Large suppliers, capable of fulfilling an estimated requirement of up to 11.5 million doses, are particularly positioned to explore new markets and leverage the ability to extend contracts for additional terms.
