## Summary

The public procurement contract for the provision of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (2025) is managed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency. This contract falls within the industry category of vaccines and targets the UK region along with Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories. It is currently at the 'Award' stage, with the contracting process completed as of 16th October 2025. The procurement was conducted under a limited procedure due to technical reasons, awarding the contract without prior publication. Merck Sharpe and Dohme (UK) Limited has been awarded the contract to supply the vaccine over a four-year period starting December 2025. The contract aims to support national immunisation programmes across various UK administrations and territories.

This tender represents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, particularly those specialising in vaccine production and distribution. Given the specialised nature of the procurement, however, the opportunity primarily suits established manufacturers with existing approvals in the UK, capable of meeting delivery and programme risks. Suppliers with a proven track record in handling large-scale government contracts and those familiar with the stringent compliance and quality standards required by public health authorities will find this opportunity of keen interest.
