Provision of Independent Medical Advice Services

The Independent Medical Advice Services team intends to carry out preliminary market engagement to gather feedback from the market in June 2026. Further phases of engagement may be conducted in advance of any formal procurement launch. It is intended that suppliers who express an interest in this opportunity will be invited to complete an initial Market Engagement Questionnaire. To proceed, suppliers will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Signing the NDA does not commit the supplier to participate in the procurement; it only enables the Authority to share relevant procurement information. Suppliers who are unable to engage will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement process and will be provided with access to relevant materials and outputs from the engagement. To express an interest in participating, suppliers must follow the steps below: 1. To express an interest, participants must first be registered on the Home Office eSourcing Suite. If you have not yet registered this can be done online at: https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering and who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so. 2. Send an ‘Expression of Interest’ email following the instructions: a. Email to: asylumsupportprocurementteam@homeoffice.gov.uk b. Email subject: Expression of Interest – IMAS – NDA Request – (DUNS number) 3. The email must include the following: a. Supplier name (as on Companies House) b. DUNS number c. Jaggaer Account ID d. Contact person – Name, job title, email address, contact number 4. The Supplier will then be asked to complete the NDA and return this document back to the Authority for countersignature. This shall be done via the Jaggaer Portal NDA event. 5. Suppliers whose NDAs have been countersigned will be granted access to the Statement of Requirements and Market Engagement Questionnaire. Access to the Statement of Requirements will provide the necessary context and insight to support completion of the Market Engagement Questionnaire. 6. Suppliers will have the opportunity to submit clarification questions, for which the deadline to submit is 03/07/2026. 7. Suppliers are required to submit their Market Engagement Questionnaire prior to the engagement deadline (03/07/2026) for review by the Authority. Indicative Timeline Publish Preliminary Market Engagement Notice – 05/06/2026 Market Engagement Questionnaire Response Deadline – 03/07/2026 Please Note: The dates above are indicative and are subject to change. This is an open process, and the Home Office welcomes any new suppliers that have joined at a later stage. The Home Office will ensure suppliers have full visibility of all activity to-date. The Home Office reserves the right to amend the Market Engagement process at a later date if needed. Any changes will be updated on the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice and through Jaggaer.
