## Summary

The Cabinet Office has awarded the Veterans' Health Innovation Fund Award to the University of Southampton. The contract aims to address unique health needs of veterans, focusing on prioritising research needs and uncertainties in health issues. The procurement method was a direct single tender action (below threshold), with a total contract value of £29,100. The tender period ended on September 9, 2022, and the contract period is from September 12, 2022, to September 12, 2022, in London.

This award presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services and related consultancy services to collaborate with the University of Southampton for veterans' health research. Businesses in the healthcare industry with expertise in addressing complex health issues, supporting veterans with physical and mental health challenges, and conducting research on health priorities would be well-suited to engage in this procurement process.

## Notice

This contract has already been awarded to the University of Southampton. Veterans' health needs are unique. Many have suffered serious injuries e.g. losing limbs during conflict, long-term pain from physical exertion and PTSD. Government, academia and charities currently do not understand the key research needs on veterans' health. Some veterans have complex physical issues linked to losing limbs, others suffer with musculoskeletal pain, and some have mental health difficulties. The James Lind Alliance (JLA) identify and prioritise unanswered questions or evidence uncertainties that they agree are the most important, so that health research funders are aware of the issues that matter most to the people who need to use the research in their everyday lives.
