UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health Research Authority commissioned a full production Microsoft Fabric data warehouse, built in its Azure environment by extending an existing proof of concept into an enterprise reporting platform. The work covers refining reporting needs with the Authority’s subject matter experts, developing scalable, secure and maintainable data models and reporting solutions, and improving the quality, consistency and accessibility of data. It also includes automated reporting and dashboards to reduce manual work, plus documentation, knowledge transfer and user training for operational handover. The warehouse is intended to strengthen reporting capability and support the Authority’s wider Research Systems Programme through enterprise reporting. The services are data analysis and database services, with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Concept Analytics Ltd on 22 September 2026. The buyer used a competitive award under a framework, with one lot. The awarded value is £740,000 excluding VAT (£888,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 22 October 2026 to 21 April 2028, with one optional extension of up to 18 months, giving a maximum end date of 21 October 2029. The award covers data warehouse development and associated reporting services. The procurement was selective; the published information does not set out the detailed evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from the Health Research Authority for a substantial, end-to-end Microsoft Fabric data warehouse build within an Azure environment, rather than a standalone reporting tool. A credible competitor for similar work would need to turn an existing proof of concept into a secure, scalable and maintainable production platform, and work collaboratively with buyer specialists to refine requirements and improve data quality and accessibility. Relevant strengths include enterprise data modelling, database and reporting delivery, automation and dashboard development, alongside the ability to document the solution, transfer knowledge and train users for operational handover. Suppliers should also be able to support a wider research systems programme through dependable enterprise reporting and deliver through a competitive framework route.
