No contract values listed for any item related to vaccine procurement. Which is strange for a spreadsheet that has ‘spend’ in the title.

Surprised to see there were no fumigation services for the stinking corruption.

Interesting line item: LOG 255. It appears to be a 'new requirement'. A £100m+ a year contract to warehouse and distribute vaccines etc. Maybe that's why they need the 5m bird flu vaccines, to occupy the warehouse space & to fill the vans. £100m a year should buy you a lot of logistics.

It appears difficult to get a handle on spending from this document.

Not sure what the column 2 ‘business area’ actually means.

Vaccins are under ‘commercial’, but the UKHSA Facilities Management Building Services Contract for UKHSA Wide Estates includes:

Carbon Net Zero Services

Statutory Obligations Surveys and Testing

Landscaping

Catering and Hospitality

Cleaning and Pest Control

Reception and Visitor Support

Security

Fire Testing & Control

Waste collection and consolidation on site

Help Desk Services

Storage

Occupancy and Property Management Servicescatering,

falls under ‘Science’ at a cost of 32.5 million over 2-5 years? I don’t know how many facilities they have? And is this over 2 or 5 years?

For some reason I can't get it open but some dollar figures from the US.....196 million $ to Seqirus, Sanofi and GSK for 40 million doses utilizing the MF59 adjuvant (Squalene) which they are particularly targeting.

If so it's rather unclear who the adjuvanted vax is destined for as no H5 vax recommendation is in place presently.

Also on the horizon....50 Mil. $ 'competition' to develop microneedle mRNA patch vax's for Covid and "seasonal' as well as 'pandemic' Flu vax's. I await the result as I am sure it will be "ground breaking', 'historical leap', 'yaddayaddayadda'...........

I can't find any long term awards for research into related LNP investigations so I guess the narrative has been set on that.

Chaps, cannot seem to open this spreadsheet. Get a file format not valid error message!

If anyone knows the UKHSA total budget maybe the amounts in the "undisclosed" fields can be deduced.

Interesting to see the Porton Down facility will be renovated and improved with an incinerator. I suppose when they develop and test bioweapons they need to dispose of the evidence. Anyway it looks like military spending taken away from the healthcare for the public.
