Section VI: Complementary information

VI.3) Additional information

The Framework Value for the 4-year term of £386.6m has been estimated according to a series of Forecast Scenarios for both DHSC and other participating bodies, these are based upon actual requirements or historical requests. DHSC has estimated a deliberately high value on the basis of a declining demand approach plus contingency, allowing for the possibility of one or more additional pandemic waves and/or the increased prevalence of a vaccine-resistant variants or other viruses/diseases that may potentially require a planned health response.The estimated values per Lot are indicative only as the Authority cannot predict with any certainty which Lots may be used for requirements. The Authority therefore reserves the right to go beyond the estimated value of a Lot where there is underspend on another Lot(s) and provided always that the Authority remains within the overall Framework value.
