UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

MHRA intends to procure a white-labelled feasibility and population analytics platform for the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). The platform will be deployed within CPRD-managed Microsoft Azure infrastructure and used exclusively with CPRD datasets formatted in the OMOP Common Data Model. It must support the OMOP model natively, without requiring material restructuring, remodelling or transformation of CPRD data. CPRD staff and CPRD-approved external clients will use the platform for self-service feasibility studies and descriptive epidemiological analyses, without supplier intervention. This is an IT software package requirement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buyer is MHRA, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, a central government public authority.

This procurement is at the planning stage: MHRA has stated its intention to procure, but it is not an invitation to tender. The expected route is an above-threshold open procedure. The indicative tender response deadline is 2 November 2026 at 14:00 UTC, with enquiries expected to close on 30 September 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The buyer expects the next notice on 5 October 2026 and an award decision by 30 November 2026. The planned contract is for one lot, valued at £3,000,000 excluding VAT (£3,600,000 including VAT). The expected term is 10 December 2026 to 10 December 2029, with two one-year extension options to 10 December 2031. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality, 20% price and 10% social value.

The work will suit software suppliers experienced in healthcare data platforms, population analytics and epidemiological analysis, particularly those able to provide a white-labelled product that can operate within a buyer-managed Microsoft Azure environment. A strong technical fit will require native support for the OMOP Common Data Model and the ability to work directly with existing CPRD OMOP datasets, without material restructuring, remodelling or transformation. Suppliers should be prepared to provide self-service tools that CPRD staff and approved external clients can use independently for feasibility studies and descriptive epidemiology, rather than relying on ongoing supplier intervention. The quality weighting makes solution capability central to preparation, alongside a credible social value offer. SMEs are identified as suitable. The market should prepare for a future open competition, not bid at this planning stage.
