Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), under the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has initiated a tender process for the "Clinical Evaluations" project, under the industry category of research and development services (CPV code 73000000). This open procurement method has reached the award stage, with the contract valued at £9.5 million excluding VAT, to be managed over a maximum term of five years. The scope includes management of clinical evaluations, with responsibilities across evaluation initiation, delivery, site and data management, monitoring, and analysis report writing, all to support UKHSA’s testing capabilities. The contracting process concluded with the contract, signed on 3 April 2025, awarded to Mac Clinical Research Finance Ltd, headquartered in Lancashire. The initial tender was published on 30 May 2024, with key deadlines culminating on 2 July 2024.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies specializing in clinical research and evaluation services. Organisations with expertise in operational delivery of evaluation studies related to In Vitro Diagnostic devices (IVDs) or pathogen characterization, data management, and report writing are well-suited to participate. The absence of annual commitment and subject to budgetary approval indicates financial flexibility and potential for establishing long-term relationships. Companies possessing robust capabilities in technical and commercial evaluation, and delivering high-quality services, can benefit significantly from partnering with UKHSA, contributing to national health initiatives while expanding their market presence in the public sector.
