## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency has awarded a contract for the National Biosurveillance Network Discovery project. The project involves software-related services and has a contract value of £2,499,110. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The contract period is from 6th February 2023 to 5th May 2023, with the tender period ending on 5th February 2023. The buying organisation, UKHSA, is located in London, UK, with the postal code SW1P 3HX.

This tender offers business growth opportunities in the software-related services sector. Businesses involved in science and technology, particularly those with expertise in biosurveillance networks, could compete for this contract. The National Biosurveillance Network Discovery project aims to create a connected network for fast threat detection, providing opportunities for suppliers to contribute to building a coherent biosurveillance system across government departments.

## Notice

The NBN is a government initiative, supported by Cabinet Office, brought about by the re-evaluation of the biosecurity risk landscape, which considers the evolving priorities since COVID-19 and the rapid advances in science and technology. Whilst investment in biosecurity, science and technology remains high across government departments this challenge is in building a connected network around these programmes that enables the fast detection of threats in our environment as and when they occur. UKHSA want to understand the picture across Government, where the gaps are, how we fill them and create a coherent network to deliver functional biosurveillance. Achieving this understanding through NBN discovery will allow for business case creation (for alpha, beta and final phases that will span this FY and the next two), explaining how we get from where we are now, to where we need to be.
