About the buyer
The Health Research Authority operates as an arm's-length body of the Department of Health and Social Care, with its own budget and board. Research Ethics Committees approve health and social care research applications on its behalf. Studies are submitted through the Integrated Research Application System, its single online route for HRA Approval. A 2015 tender placed IRAS software development with a single supplier, BGO Media. HRA is now building Plan and Manage Health and Care Research, a new digital service developed on behalf of the IRAS Partners to replace three legacy systems. Most of its functions cover research in England, run alongside a shared system across the rest of the UK.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of HRA's contract awards have been in IT services, research and development and furniture and furnishings.
