Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "IHR Strengthening Events and Logistics Management Pan Africa" contract is led by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency. This process falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on event services. Its objective is to support the International Health Regulations Strengthening Project (IHR-SP) across Africa, funded by the Department of Health and Social Care's Official Development Assistance programme. The contract, valued at £5,531,884.70, spans from 1 July 2025 to 31 March 2027. Updates reflecting increased programme delivery costs have adjusted the contract requirements to ensure the continuity of logistics, events, and operational support. The procurement method used is an open procedure, which aligns with Regulation 72(1)(b) of PCR 2015, maintaining cost-effectiveness and operational viability within the existing IHR-SP framework.

The tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in event services and logistics management, particularly those with expertise in public health projects. The African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) is the current supplier, highlighting opportunities for organisations capable of similar service delivery across diverse geographic locations such as Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Zambia. The contract necessitates collaboration with national health institutes, requiring businesses with strong partnerships and technical capacity in disease surveillance, biosafety, laboratory systems, and emergency preparedness. Given the scale and complexity of the project, larger entities with comprehensive infrastructure and established regional ties are well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
