Movianto UK has announced the go-live of its new national contract with National Health Service (NHS) England for the delivery of specialised pharmaceutical logistics and warehouse services supporting England’s national vaccination and immunisation programmes. The five-year contract is the result of a tender process. It establishes Movianto UK as NHS England’s strategic logistics partner responsible for the end-to-end supply chain solution supporting vaccine storage, inventory management, order fulfilment, sortation and GDP-compliant temperature-controlled distribution to more than 11,000 frontline healthcare locations across England.
“The partnership brings together one of Europe’s most advanced healthcare logistics networks with NHS England’s national vaccination programmes, creating a more resilient, agile and efficient supply chain capable of supporting routine immunisation, national screening programmes and emergency public health responses,” says Andy Robinson, Deputy Managing Director, Movianto UK.
Rather than relying on dedicated warehousing and transport infrastructure solely for NHS England, the solution harnesses Movianto UK’s existing healthcare storage and logistics network, already supporting leading global pharmaceutical manufacturers, NHS organisations and UK Government departments. Andy Robinson adds: “This shared-user operating model maximises utilisation of existing infrastructure, reduces duplication of resources and delivers improved value through greater operational efficiency.”
It also enables suppliers to move products directly into Movianto’s existing regulated storage network, significantly reducing unnecessary physical stock transfers between facilities before distribution to NHS providers. This streamlined approach improves responsiveness, reduces handling, minimises transport movements and supports wider Government and NHS sustainability ambitions, which seek to reduce carbon emissions across NHS procurement while delivering greater social value.
The new contract builds upon Movianto UK’s established experience supporting national healthcare resilience, including pandemic preparedness, emergency response capability and time-critical deployment of medicines and vaccines across the United Kingdom.
