## Summary

The public procurement process titled "Optimising the mix of malaria interventions including malaria vaccines (OPTiMIX study)" was initiated by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, a sub-central government public authority situated in London. This process falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services and involves a direct award methodology, specifically targeting the delivery of the LEAD Framework as part of the OPTIMIX study. The project entails Services category procurement. The tender was awarded to LEAD Ubuntu Global Foundation while the procurement is in the award stage. The key contract period spans from 2nd July 2025 to 30th September 2028, with a gross contract value of approximately GBP 362,673.

This project presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in healthcare research and consultancy services. Companies that provide robust frameworks for quality improvement in healthcare delivery will find this project well-aligned with their capabilities. The direct award approach underscores the specialised nature of the required services, highlighting the opportunity for businesses with expertise in participatory action research, organisational development, and community engagement to distinguish themselves. Since the LEAD Ubuntu Global Foundation's niche expertise secured the contract, similar small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with unique, proven methodologies are well-suited to secure such specialised tenders in future procurement opportunities.
