Description

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.

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.
