## Summary

The procurement process was facilitated by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, represented through the UK Health Security Agency, to supply vaccination inserts for the Child Red Book for immunisation records. The industry category for this contract falls under services, specifically printing and distribution services with the CPV code 79824000. This procurement involved a direct award, as Harlow Printing Limited is the sole supplier of the Childhood Red Books to the NHS, signifying exclusive intellectual property rights. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 13th November 2025, and it is currently active. The procurement location covers the United Kingdom, with the contract period spanning from 14th November 2025 to 19th June 2026, with a gross value of £417,583.80.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in printing and distribution services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in these industries, like Harlow Printing Limited, that have the capacity to deliver exclusive products due to intellectual property rights, stand to benefit from such contracts. Companies with existing experience in handling government contracts, particularly in healthcare or related sectors, would find this type of tender well-suited to their capabilities. The direct procurement method streamlines the awarding process, providing a clear avenue for niche suppliers to pursue service contracts with reduced competition.
