Summary of the contracting process

NHS Shared Business Services has completed a public procurement process for "Project PaLaDIn Maximising Interactium Benefits FSHD as a case study." The procurement, classified under CPV code 73100000 for Research and Experimental Development Services, focuses on enhancing cross-sector collaboration in countries including the UK, Netherlands, France, and others, for patients with Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD). The open procedure exceeded the threshold, with a closing deadline on 24th October 2025, and the contract period is set from 4th December 2025 to 31st December 2027. The total contract value is £1,662,240 GBP, awarded to FSHD Europe, indicating a robust investment in advancing healthcare frameworks in multiple European locations. The process has moved through the planning, tender, and award stages, finalising with an active status as of 20th November 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research, consultancy services, and the execution of development projects, particularly those that can leverage technology like the Interactium platform. With a strong emphasis on cross-border collaboration in the healthcare domain, entities familiar with multinational project coordination, clinical trial support, and health technology assessment will find this scope beneficial. Additionally, the procurement's suitability for SME and VCSE participation indicates openings for smaller and voluntary sector enterprises to engage with prominent international health initiatives, potentially leading to growth and expansion within the European research and development market.
