Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured application support, maintenance, service management and enhancement services for its Healthcare Acquired Infection Data Capture System (HCAI DCS). This is specialist software support for a healthcare-related data capture system, covering the ongoing operation, upkeep and improvement of the application. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification identifying software support services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and concerns the UKHSA’s own system, so relevant businesses are those able to support a live public-sector application and develop it in line with operational needs, service requirements and defined deliverables.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CGI IT UK Limited on 27 August 2026. It used a selective procedure through an existing framework, with no reopening of competition for this award. The single lot was awarded at £799,968 excluding VAT, or £959,961.60 including VAT. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an option to extend by up to 12 months to 31 July 2029. The extension is subject to satisfactory performance, continuing business need, affordability and governance approval. The published outcome describes a fixed-price, output-based contract with defined deliverables and acceptance criteria, monitored through governance, milestones and deliverable acceptance.

This award shows sustained demand from UKHSA for a supplier able to take responsibility for a healthcare data capture application across support, maintenance, service management and enhancement work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in software support and application maintenance, the capacity to manage a live public-sector service, and the technical ability to deliver controlled enhancements against agreed outputs. It would also need reliable service-management processes, disciplined milestone delivery and the ability to work to formal acceptance criteria and contract governance. Experience of supporting systems used for healthcare-acquired infection data, or comparable public-health and clinical information systems, would be commercially relevant when positioning for similar work with UKHSA.
