The process, titled "Crest Medical Needle & Syringes for Pandemic Preparedness 24/25," falls under the medical consumables category and aims to reinforce the UK’s preparedness stockpile. The procurement was classified under a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award without prior publication, as per the NHS supply chain framework. The contract, signed on 22nd September 2025, emphasises delivery throughout the United Kingdom, with the award being granted to Crest Medical Limited.
