Vaccines Tenders and Contracts

Vaccines tenders are contracts for flu and seasonal vaccination programmes, staff and student immunisation services, and vaccine supply. They also cover public health campaigns that promote uptake of vaccinations.

Stotles brings together vaccines tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. National bodies tender vaccine supply ahead of each season, while NHS trusts and councils commission vaccination services and campaigns directly or under the Provider Selection Regime.

Vaccines must hold a UK marketing authorisation from the MHRA and be stored in the cold chain, and providers giving vaccinations need trained, registered clinicians and patient group directions. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar services at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Vaccination appears both as a standalone tender and as one line item inside a wider occupational health or public health services contract.

NHS trusts and local councils are the common buyers, commissioning much of this work through occupational health providers. Universities and public health bodies also let contracts for staff and student vaccination programmes.

Read immunisation programme plans, public health commissioning intentions, occupational health contract expiry dates and Provider Selection Regime notices, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Vaccine notices carry 33651600 (Vaccines), 33600000 (Pharmaceutical products) and 85100000 (Health services) for vaccination services.
