What is being bought
NHS England (NHSE) is procuring a contract with a single lead provider for the delivery of Specialised Pharmaceutical Logistics and Warehouse Services to support national vaccination and screening programmes across the NHSE portfolio. The service provider will be responsible for the end to end delivery and deployment of the supply chain network that underpins the commissioning and distribution of all vaccine types to front line destinations across all sectors, including Community Pharmacies, General Practices, Detained Estates, and a wide range of other healthcare settings- serving more than 11,000 locations nationwide.
This procurement will replace the current contract and will build on the established performance, expertise, and operational capability developed through the COVID‑19 vaccination programme, which has successfully supported the administration of more than 150 million vaccines to date.
Full details of the service requirements and specification are included within the ITT pack.
