The requirement is intended to replace the agency’s existing international flight booking data contract and support access to flight and passenger information worldwide. It is a technology and information service, covering the provision and delivery of global flight and passenger data rather than physical goods or construction. The requirement may include associated IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The work would support UKHSA’s operational and public health activities, although the specific data fields, service model and delivery arrangements are still being shaped through market engagement. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This process is at the planning stage and is not an invitation to tender. UKHSA expects to use early market engagement through a Request for Information to understand market capabilities, delivery models and innovations, and to inform its commercial strategy and any future tender documents. The planned RFI engagement has a scheduled date of 2 October 2026, while the next notice is expected on 1 December 2026. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. One lot is planned. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with a renewal option extending the maximum period to 31 March 2030. The procurement is classified as above threshold. This will suit suppliers that collect, maintain, integrate or provide global flight booking and passenger data, particularly businesses able to explain the coverage, quality, timeliness and lawful delivery of their datasets. Providers with established data platforms, aviation-sector relationships, secure data exchange arrangements and experience supporting public-sector or public-health users should be well placed to contribute. UKHSA is specifically seeking evidence of current market capabilities, alternative delivery models and innovations, so suppliers can use the RFI to demonstrate different technical and commercial approaches rather than respond to a fixed specification. IT consultancies, software and internet service providers, data specialists and support partners may all be relevant. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller or mission-led organisations should consider engaging, including through partnerships where complementary capabilities are needed. ## Notice As a part of a planned potential sourcing activity for the Provision of Global Air Passenger Data, UKHSA is conducting early market engagement for potential suitable suppliers to replace our existing contract for International Flight Booking Data which expires end of this financial year. UKHSA is conducting an early market engagement exercise via Request For Information (RFI) to understand current market capabilities, delivery models, and innovations in the provision of global flight and passenger data services.
