Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Toxicology and Epidemiology Review Services" was led by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically research and development consultancy services (CPV code 73200000), and encompasses the preparation of comprehensive reviews to assess human health risks of chemicals in the environment. The tender was conducted via an open procedure with electronic and written submission methods and focused on the UK. The opportunity transitioned from the planning stage, announced on 22nd October 2024, to an active tender stage on 22nd November 2024, with a tender period concluding on 14th January 2025. Subsequently, the contract was awarded to BIBRA TOXICOLOGY ADVICE and CONSULTING LIMITED, with the contract signed on 13th May 2025 for the value of £1,900,000. The services are in effect from 1st April 2025, initially for three years with options to extend, subject to performance and budget considerations.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and toxicology consultancy services. It particularly suits companies with expertise in comprehensive toxicological and epidemiological review services due to its technical demands. Given the niche nature of this project, there is scope for collaborative bids from consortia or businesses with extensive experience in handling health risk assessments of environmental chemicals. This structure aligns well with the UK Health Security Agency's SME Action Plan, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and encouraging innovative solutions. The successful integration of technical skills and competitive pricing will be pivotal for businesses aiming to compete and contribute to this significant public health initiative.
