Summary of the contracting process

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency, has completed the procurement process for the "Project supporting the development of public health capabilities in EMR" under CPV classification 79952000 (event services). This project involves a collaboration agreement with Global Health Development (GHD) to provide technical assistance and support in the delivery of a joint workplan, events management, and logistics services related to training events aimed at enhancing compliance with the International Health Regulations in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). The contract, awarded without prior publication due to technical reasons limiting competition to GHD, was signed on 26 November 2024 with a value of £500,000 and includes an optional 12-month extension subject to funding and internal approvals. The primary delivery location is Jordan, with activities addressing the UKI42 region.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in event services, travel management, and recruitment services, to participate in a significant public health initiative. Companies with expertise in organising training events and providing logistical support in an international context, especially those already established in the EMR, are well-suited for this project. The unique requirement for GHD's services exemplifies how specialised capabilities can position a business as a key player in governmental health projects, offering potential for growth through collaboration and capacity-building activities in a dynamically challenging environment.

Lot 1

Contract in the form of a Collaboration Agreement with GHD, for technical assistance and support in the delivery of a joint workplan and events management and logistics services associated with the organisation of training events, to deliver strengthening and capacity building activities leading to improved compliance with the International Health Regulations in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).

Procurement Information

The GHD initiative works at a regional, national, and subnational level providing technical assistance through staff based in Jordan and a number other Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries.<br/><br/>A contract was awarded in November 2021, following a competitive exercise, to cover the requirement for technical, professional and logistics services. The delivery of key technical activities across the International Health Regulations Strengthening Project in the EMR relies on the provision of logistical and professional services to arrange and coordinate workshops and training sessions as well as the hiring of local staff.<br/><br/>For the 2021 tender exercise, GHD/EMPHNET was the only economic operator that submitted tender. This contract expired 31/03/2022. The Contracting Authority has undertaken additional market analysis including desktop exercise to assess the presence of other economic operators in the market. None other than GHD/EMPHNET was identified.<br/><br/>This Agreement is therefore being awarded to GHD on the basis that technical services can be supplied only by them as competition is absent for technical reasons. The Contracting Authority has not identified reasonable alternatives or substitute. The absence of competition is not as a result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and the Contracting Authority's requirements.<br/><br/>GHD are the only identified organisation able to deliver the Contracting Authority's requirements. Their unique expertism and experience and resources within the region places them as the only capable economic operator.<br/><br/>During the Agreement period and before exercising the optional extension period, the Contracting Authority will continue to review the market for other economic operators capable of meeting its requirements.
