two.2.4) Description of the procurement
UKHSA anticipates a requirement over the period 2024 to 2028 for the supply of product(s) indicated for protection from COVID-19. The annual requirement for COVID-19 vaccines will be determined by DHSC and UKHSA policy following advice from the JCVI as to which cohorts should be included in an upcoming immunisation programme.
UKHSA is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) to provide a flexible route to market as a means of meeting the requirements for COVID-19 vaccines. The potential total value of the procurements (in aggregate) that may be placed with one (1) or more potential providers in aggregate within the DPS is [£1 billion] (excluding VAT).
No commitment is made to conducting any further call for competition nor for procuring any minimum volume or value of goods by UKHSA in setting up this DPS. The DPS provides potential providers with a means to take part in future tenders.
The Authority invites applications from suitably qualified suppliers to join the DPS in order to participate in future tender opportunities. Only those suppliers whose DPS application has been approved and who have been accepted on to the DPS at the time an ITT is issued will be eligible to submit a tender.
Full information on the qualifying criteria and how to apply is available from the Atamis eTendering system; https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome
Potential suppliers are encouraged to submit their DPS application as early as possible in advance of an anticipated call off procurement, as only those suppliers who have been accepted onto the DPS at the point at which an ITT is issued will be eligible to submit a tender.
Applications to the DPS must be made via the Atamis system https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome. If you do not already have an account you can easily register for one via the same link. You will then be able to search for this opportunity and access the application documents.
