Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency procured annual support for its NW Manchester Telepath LIMS for the 2026/27 period. Telepath LIMS is a laboratory information management system, so the requirement concerns specialist application support and associated data-processing services rather than general IT support. The work relates to the UKHSA’s laboratory information environment and is connected with its NW Manchester operation. The buyer is the UK Health Security Agency, based at 10 South Colonnade, London. The procurement is classified under CPV 72310000, covering data-processing services. The requirement is a single support service for the Telepath LIMS system, intended to maintain the system’s operational use during the relevant annual support period.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 21 July 2026 to DH OPCO UK LTD. The awarded value is £121,320.96 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. UKHSA used a selective procurement route described as a restricted procedure above threshold. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published requirement was described as “NW Manchester Telepath LIMS annual support 26/27”. The contract covers one annual support period, with no separate lots identified.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for continuing support to a named laboratory information management system, at a substantial annual service scale. Businesses considering future work of this type would need demonstrable capability in supporting Telepath LIMS and in delivering reliable data-processing services for a health protection organisation. The procurement route also indicates that suppliers must be able to operate within a restricted, above-threshold competition rather than relying on an informal or low-value quotation process. UKHSA marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, indicating that a credible competitor would need the organisational capacity and established delivery capability associated with a larger specialist supplier.
