UKHSA, as the potential Contracting Authority, are leading the pre-market engagement activity with the purpose to: • Gain a better understanding of the 'as-is' adult NHS flu programme from the perspective of vaccine manufacturers and wholesalers • Understand what impact centralising the procurement and/or supply of adult flu vaccine would potentially have on the market including current capability and capacity; options under consideration include o Procuring Adult Flu Vaccines using a Centralised Framework Contract o UKHSA Procuring Adult Flu Vaccines and maintaining existing supply and distribution methods o UKHSA Procuring Adult Flu Vaccines and ingesting supply centrally for distribution o Maintaining the status quo • Explore any potential barriers, opportunities, benefits or risks there may be with a central procurement and/or supply approach. • Have an open dialogue with the market to ensure a full understanding of the future landscape. The market engagement will take the form of a questionnaire available via our e-procurement system, which you will be asked to complete and return. Once returned, you may be invited for a 1:1 meeting with the project team to discuss your answers and provide clarification. It is anticipated that these meetings will take place during November/December 2024. Who would we like to hear from? We are keen to engage with those suppliers who already have a licenced adult flu vaccine and/or have experience of the UK adult flu market, who have an adult flu vaccine in development, or who may have an adult flu vaccine in their future product development pipeline, and with medical logistics providers both wholesale and distribution.
