## Summary

The Cabinet Office, located at 70 Whitehall, London, has completed the procurement of expert witness services for the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry. This tender, designated as C19EWCRX0624, involves the provision of an independent expert report on ischaemic heart disease as part of Module 3 on Non-covid conditions. The procurement process, which started with a single tender action below the threshold, concluded on 28th October 2024, with the contract starting on 30th October 2024 and set to end on 28th March 2025. The contract was awarded to Coromics Limited, a large business based in West Yorkshire, for a value of £15,050.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in expert witness services, particularly those capable of providing detailed and independent reports on medical conditions. While this specific contract was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, businesses of large scale with expertise in the healthcare or consultancy sectors could find similar opportunities particularly lucrative. Those with strong capabilities in delivering high-quality, impartial evaluations may be well-positioned to compete in future procurement processes initiated by the Cabinet Office or similar governmental bodies.
