Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has completed the procurement process for the "Manchester Telepath LIMS Annual Support," focusing on software packages and information systems under the CPV classification. Located in England, United Kingdom, the procurement employed a direct method through a single tender action that was below the threshold. The tender involved the delivery of instruments enabling data transfer to a Laboratory Information Management System, with DH OPCO Ltd (Dedalus) providing the necessary interface support. This process was classified under the services category, and its tender period concluded on 25 March 2025, with the contract set to commence on 1 May 2025 and run until 31 March 2026. The contract was awarded on 29 April 2025, with a total value of £116,319 GBP.

This procurement represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in information systems and software packages to understand the agency's procurement needs and potentially identify future collaborative opportunities. Although this particular tender did not encourage participation from SMEs or VCSEs, larger suppliers with robust capabilities in bespoke software interface support would have been well-suited to compete. Understanding the needs and preferences of major buyers like the UK Health Security Agency can inform strategic business decisions and enable growth through tailored service provision in future procurement processes.
