Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured a support service for the ongoing maintenance and development of its Unified Infection Dataset (UID). This is an information technology service covering consulting, software development, internet and technical support. The work is associated with the agency’s premises at 10 South Colonnade, London, E14 4PU, and the wider United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the UK Health Security Agency. The requirement is categorised as services and concerns continued support for a public health data asset, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. It would suit organisations providing managed software support, data-platform maintenance and development services for public-sector or health-related information systems.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from the RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 24 August 2026 to PA Consulting Services Limited for £63,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement. The award covers ongoing maintenance and development support for the Unified Infection Dataset, with delivery connected to London and the United Kingdom.

For future requirements of this type, credible suppliers will need to combine software development with dependable ongoing support for a data platform used in a public health setting. Relevant capability includes maintaining existing systems, developing enhancements, supporting users or operational teams, and working carefully with structured infection or health data. Experience of delivering IT consultancy and support through a public-sector framework would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to provide continuity across a multi-month service period. The selected supplier was a large organisation, and the buyer marked the requirement unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that scale, established delivery capability and sufficient resources are likely to matter when a similar need returns to market.
