Kort beskrivelse

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (hereinafter ”STM”) and Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (hereinafter "THL " or “Customer” ) request your tender for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine belonging to the National Vaccination Programme in Finland.

The contract period is four years 2025 - 2028.

Quantity for the contract period is 60.000 - 120.000 doses for adults (on average THL delivers 20.000 - 30.000 doses per year, this is only an estimation) and 12.000 - 40.000 doses for children (on average 4.000 - 8.000 doses per year, this is only an estimation). The procurement contains additional procurement option but it does not create any obligation by the Customer to purchase any additional vaccine doses from Supplier.

The maximum of the additional procurement option amount is 60.000 doses. The additional procurement option can however be less than maximum 60.000 doses and can be divided for several deliveries during the contract period. The decision about the ordered quantity is in sole discretion of THL.

It shall be in the Customer´s sole discretion to decide whether the additional procurement option consists of adult or pediatric vaccine doses or both for that matter.

Examples of situations where additional procurement option might be needed include the need for larger changes in the vaccination programme (e.g change in the at-risk areas) or sudden larger fluctuations in vaccine demand or unexpected budget changes.

THL will supply a written notification for additional procurement option with the following terms:

THL shall supply a written notification for the additional procurement option to the Supplier at least six (6) months before the estimated delivery date of the first additional procurement option lot. The delivery schedule shall be agreed mutually in writing. The price quoted for the Articles in the tender shall be applied also to the Articles procured as an additional procurement option.

The contract will be awarded to one Supplier based on a comparison of tenders. Tender that is economically the most advantageous will win the competition. The most economically advantageous Tender shall be a Tender with lowest total reference price for the competition. The total reference price will be calculated by adding the tendered prices for adult and children doses together.
