Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured membership and access to The Global Health Network through The Global Health Research Accelerator CIC. The service provides the International Health Regulations Strengthening Programme with a knowledge hub for hosting publications, news stories and general information for a diverse global audience. The platform is also used by wider global operations and projects, including UK Overseas Territories, UK Public Health Rapid Support Team and WEPHREN sites. This is a research and knowledge-management service, classified under CPV 73110000 for research services. The buyer is based in London, while the service supports international public health activity and globally accessible online content.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 26 June 2026 to 31 July 2027. It has a gross value of £67,555.56, or £56,296.30 excluding tax. The contract is active and may be extended by up to 24 months in 12-month increments, with a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. The selected supplier is The Global Health Research Accelerator CIC, an SME. Performance is measured through quarterly reviews covering service delivery, reporting, platform availability, accessibility, content and platform support; query acknowledgement within three working days; and invoicing accuracy reviewed over six-month periods.

This requirement demonstrates demand for a specialist digital knowledge hub supporting international public health programmes and multiple operational projects. Relevant suppliers would need to provide a reliable platform for publishing and organising research, news and general information for a diverse global audience, while supporting content management and technical users. Credible capability would include platform availability, accessibility, minimising disruption, communicating significant outages and providing practical guidance and technical assistance. Suppliers should also be able to produce usage analytics and other agreed reports in the required format and timescales, respond promptly to service issues, and manage accurate contractual invoicing. Experience supporting several related public health or research projects on one shared platform would be particularly relevant.
