## Summary

UK Health Security Agency commissioned the University of Nottingham’s PRIMIS service to support its use of primary care data services. The work covers extracting and processing primary care data, together with associated technical support. It is a specialist data-services requirement rather than a general software supply, despite the software classification attached to the procurement. The recorded delivery location is Porton Down, near Salisbury, with the service supporting UKHSA’s use of primary care data. The buyer is UKHSA, the public health agency responsible for the requirement, and the selected supplier is the University of Nottingham’s PRIMIS service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to the University of Nottingham (PRIMIS). The award was made on 6 August 2026, at a value of £1,176,000. The contract period runs from 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2028. UKHSA used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s estimated value was also £1,176,000. The submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at noon. The service was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Two award entries report the same supplier, award date, contract period and value; they represent duplicate reporting of the outcome, not separate suppliers or additional contract values.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates UKHSA’s demand for specialised primary care data services: extracting and processing health data and providing the technical support needed to use it. A credible competitor would need proven capability across the data pipeline, including reliable extraction, data handling and processing, and responsive technical support in a public health setting. The successful provider was PRIMIS at the University of Nottingham, indicating that an established service with relevant primary care data expertise was selected. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so experience participating in suitable frameworks would be commercially relevant when competing for comparable UKHSA requirements. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, signalling that suppliers should assess whether their scale and delivery capacity match the buyer’s approach.」}
