Varicella Vaccine Supply Contract for Ireland's Health Service Executive

The Health Service Executive (HSE) is seeking to award a direct contract for the supply and delivery of Varicella Vaccine in compliance with Ireland's National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) Guidelines. This procurement follows a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) invitation where only one supplier expressed interest in tendering. The HSE is utilizing the negotiated procedure without prior publication under EU Directive 2014/24/EU Article 32(2)(b)(iii), as this supplier is the sole authorized agent in Ireland for Varicella Vaccine supply, making competition technically impossible. This VEAT (Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency) notice initiates a mandatory 2-week standstill period, after which the contract will be executed. Interested parties may submit observations during the standstill period.
