Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured quantitative study recruitment and testing services to support research. The work covers recruiting participants for quantitative studies and carrying out testing; the description does not set out further methods or study topics. The buyer is UKHSA, and the stated delivery location is London, with the procurement identifying the UK as the country of delivery. This is a research services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The scope is focused on the practical recruitment and testing needed to conduct quantitative studies, so it is most relevant to research suppliers able to organise participant recruitment and deliver study testing for a public health agency.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CAPRICORN VENTIS LIMITED. The award was made on 6 October 2026 for £92,650, matching the estimated procurement value. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2027. UKHSA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria or a breakdown into lots. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active; no contract signing date is stated.

For suppliers considering similar UKHSA requirements, this award demonstrates demand for quantitative research recruitment and testing delivered as a single service. A credible competitor would need to show it can recruit suitable study participants and carry out testing reliably, with the operational capacity to support quantitative studies for a public health agency. The selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the procurement was marked as SME-suitable, indicating that this scale of requirement can be competed for by smaller firms as well as larger research providers. Experience coordinating recruitment and testing together, and the ability to deliver in London, would be directly relevant. The route used was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to compete through the relevant framework.
