Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health & Social Care has completed a direct award contract for hosting the Fleming Fund Knowledge Hub. This contract, valued at £300,000, aims to create, host, and maintain a platform that provides diverse resources such as training materials and policy documents. The procurement process involved a direct award to The Global Health Network, a large supplier based in Oxford, UK, due to their established agreements with AMR and OneHealth partners. The contract commenced on 25 March 2026 and will run until 31 March 2028, with the key procurement category focusing on services related to web server software development within the Health sector, with work centred in London and Oxford.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in web server software development, particularly those with specialised skills in document and data management systems relevant to public health initiatives. While the direct award competed through preferred suppliers, future opportunities may arise for small and medium-sized enterprises showing capability during market engagement phases. Interested businesses can look forward to future tenders for hosting or maintaining platforms connected to the Fleming Fund, leveraging their expertise in similar healthcare technology solutions.
