Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has completed the procurement process for the provision of an IT Service Management Function under the industry category of information technology services. The procurement, which used a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, culminated in an active award on 29th April 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £8.7 million, runs from 25th April 2026 to 24th October 2027, with services set to be delivered within the United Kingdom, specifically in London (postcode E14 4PU). This stage reflects the completion of the award, with previous tendering having ended on 12th September 2025.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for large-scale IT service providers to engage with public health organisations and deliver extensive IT management solutions. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not targeted for this tender, the project underlines the substantial market for established IT firms looking to expand or solidify their presence in the public sector. The awarded supplier, METHODS BUSINESS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, stands as an example of a large enterprise successfully leveraging such opportunities to grow and sustain their business engagements within the government sector.
