Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has awarded a contract for the "Provision and Support of MHRA Regulatory Systems", valued at £3,850,000. This process was initiated due to the upcoming conclusion of the Current Applications Outsource (AO) Service, with the intent to transition to a Successor AO Service. The contract period commenced on 14th February 2022 and will run until 13th February 2027. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically using a competitive dialogue approach, with the tender period formally closing on 5th October 2021. The service will mainly cater to the IT sector, focusing on software development and support, and is located at the MHRA's office in Canary Wharf, London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the IT services sector, including software development, consulting, and medical software services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider this prospect, as the MHRA is committed to fostering competition among diverse suppliers. Given the ongoing support and potential for further development of the Successor AO Service, companies that can provide innovative solutions and reliable software support will be well-positioned to compete for additional contracts in this area.
