Notice Title

UK National Screening Committee Web Tool Rebuild

Notice Description

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking to rebuild the UK National Screening Committee's recommendations web tool (current site) on the DHSC Analytical Cloud (DAC) platform. The UK NSC web tool is currently hosted on UKHSA infrastructure using technologies (e.g. Python/Django, OpenShift) that are incompatible with DHSC's DAC platform. The objective of this project is to transfer the service to the new DAC platform without changing its core functionality, requiring the creation of a new asset with a different codebase to suit the DAC platform and technical capabilities of the DAC support team. A penetration test will also be required to identify and address any cyber security risks that might be introduced by the rebuilt web tool.
