Explanation

Instead of
Text

There is only one supplier with an exclusive global licence to manufacture and distribute this vaccine which is licensed and approved for use in the UK and due to the functions of the vaccine, there is no reasonable alternative or substitute, therefore using the negotiated procedure without prior publication is justified under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) and (iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Text

DHSC is procuring these vaccines on the recommendation of the JCVI that this type of vaccine should be offered . There is only one supplier of this type of vaccine with the applicable Marketing Authorisation in the UK and, due to the functions of the vaccine, there is no reasonable alternative or substitute currently licenced for use in the UK. Competition is therefore absent for technical reasons and the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication is justified under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended).
