Technical requirements: A requirement to secure Hydroxychloroquine tablets for trials for treatments for Covid-19. Urgent delivery required of available stocks.
A situation of extreme urgency exists both in the UK and across the world, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hydroxychloroquine tablets, one of the drugs of choice worldwide for the treatment of Covid-19 is scarce in supply and the contracting authority having identified a supplier that was ready willing and able to supply Hydroxychloroquine tablets needed to move quickly to secure this supply. Failure to do this would have resulted in Hydroxychloroquine tablets being sold by the supplier to another country due to the high demand globally. As such and at this time, the timelines for the open procedure, restricted procedure (even where accelerated) and the competitive procedure with negotiation could not be complied with in order for DHSC is to secure this supply of Hydroxychloroquine tablets.

Technical requirements: Ancillary clean room equipment for the manufacture of vaccines, including clean room monitoring equipment (air monitoring and particle counting) and microbial safety cabinet.
Ancillary clean room equipment for the manufacture of vaccines, including clean room monitoring equipment (air monitoring and particle counting) and microbial safety cabinet:
— a microbiological safety cabinet. Which is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level;
VMIC are reacting to a current situation that is a genuine emergency, by creating ‘Virtual VMIC’ to manufacture 40 million doses of the vaccine to cover the pandemic in 2020. To do this equipment procurement needs to be accelerated rapidly to achieve the government target.
The Covid-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something VMIC should have predicted and have changed the timescales of the project significantly.
There is no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation; due to the equipment lead time which will not meet the accelerated project programme to enable vaccine production within the required timeline. As a result, procurement of GMP equipment needs to take place in June 2020 for equipment arrival in July 2020. To speed procurement, installation and qualification timelines the same suppliers as previously used for the Virtual VMIC host site will be used.
VMIC have not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency. This is due to the accelerated programme as a result of the requirement from the UK government to provide vaccine manufacturing capability in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
