Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned an Integrated Screening Outcomes Surveillance Service for its Infectious Diseases in Pregnancy Screening Programme. The service covers surveillance of screening outcomes for HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis, supporting the programme through research and development, scientific and technical work, and data analysis. The work is delivered for NHS England in London, with University College London identified as the supplier. This is a public-sector health data and research requirement rather than a clinical treatment service. The scope is suitable for organisations able to manage screening surveillance data, produce provider-level reporting and support programme teams with reliable analysis and evidence. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, and that lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to University College London. NHS England used a direct award under paragraph 6a of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023, justified by single-supplier technical reasons. The award was dated 2 July 2026, the contract was signed on 31 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £204,167 excluding VAT and £245,000.40 including VAT. A standstill period ended on 28 July 2026. The value was revised because of additional requirements in the service specification. The contract is active and requires provider-level data submissions in line with annual standards data reporting and infectious diseases in pregnancy screening programme KPI reporting, at three-month intervals.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist health surveillance services combining screening-outcome research, scientific and technical support, and data analysis. A credible future competitor would need experience handling sensitive or complex health data, analysing outcomes across HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis screening, and translating findings into dependable reporting for national NHS programme teams. Capability to produce provider-level data in line with defined reporting standards and key performance indicators would be important, alongside robust data governance, quality assurance and scheduled delivery. Organisations with established links to public-health research, epidemiology, screening programmes or NHS data operations would be well placed. The single-lot structure and stated SME suitability suggest that a focused specialist provider, or a consortium combining research and analytical expertise, could compete when this requirement returns.
