Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care through the UK Health Security Agency, pertains to the acquisition of Agilent SLIMS software for the 2025/2026 period. This contract falls under the industry category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out through a direct method described as "Below threshold - without competition," with the award and contract stages now complete. The contract commenced on 1st July 2025 and is set to conclude on 30th June 2026, with the contract officially signed on 26th June 2025.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in the IT services sector, especially those specialising in software development and bioinformatics support, to collaborate with a major central government entity.
