Fleming Fund - Website Development and Maintenance
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s Fleming Fund which helps to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. This contract supports the hosting and maintenance of the Fleming Fund website, an external-facing sites that hosts information on Fleming Fund country, regional, and global grants and the fellowship scheme. The website supports the Fund to raise awareness of AMR in LMICs and reflects the breadth of the Fund’s work. It supports the communication and sharing of programme information including publications, news articles, and funding announcements. The website is an integral part of the Fleming Fund’s wider communications strategy. The first supplier was procured through an open, competitive process. The second supplier was contracted using a direct award via the government Crown Commercial Service which offers better value for money and beneficial terms to government agencies for off the shelf solutions.

Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
The Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid programme from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). It supports high-quality research and development (R&D) around the world to reduce the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans, animals, and the environment for the benefit of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focussing on product development (such as therapeutics, alternatives, vaccines, diagnostics and beyond). GAMRIF delivers through bilateral partnerships, global initiatives, and product development partnerships (PDPs) to establish international research partnerships with industry, academia, and governments. This approach enables it to collaborate with, and leverage additional funding from, other global donors to develop innovative One Health* solutions to tackle AMR in LMICs and increase the availability of context-specific, accessible, and affordable innovations for LMICs. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.)

Delivered in partnership with the University of Exeter, this is a pioneering initiative which aims to address the urgent and underfunded challenge of fungal antimicrobial resistance (fAMR). It will foster global research and development to create impactful products and solutions for fAMR across the One Health* spectrum by providing funding for small to large scale research projects in basic and clinical medical mycology, focusing on LMICs, where the effects of fAMR are particularly severe. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.)
UK Vaccine Network (UKVN)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
The UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid programme from the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). It supports the development of vaccines and vaccine technology for infectious diseases with the potential to cause an epidemic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on areas of market failure. UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential in LMICs for which the development of vaccines is a priority. The long-term aims of this programme are to prevent outbreaks of diseases with epidemic potential through proactive vaccination campaigns or to control them through quick development of new vaccines and/or responsive vaccination campaigns upon outbreak detection. UKVN focuses on human and zoonotic diseases with epidemic potential in humans, from 12 priority pathogen families, alongside Disease X (a pandemic pathogen that has not yet been characterised).
UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) - Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) - Future Vaccine Manufacturing Research Hubs Competition 2 (2023-2028)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) which supports the development of vaccines and vaccine technology for infectious diseases with the potential to cause an epidemic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on areas of market failure. UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential in LMICs for which the development of vaccines is a priority. UKVN is collaborating with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to run Stage 2 of the Vaccine Manufacturing Research Hubs competition, which funds four hubs (including the two funded in Stage 1). The first stage of the Future Vaccine Manufacturing Research Hubs competition prioritised the development of vaccine products through research into improved vaccine manufacturing. The second stage continues to fund work of the same nature. As in the first competition, the hubs seek to: (1) Develop tools and technologies that allow for easier and quicker manufacturing of vaccines in emergencies; (2) Redesign existing vaccines to make them cheaper and easier to manufacture and easier to deliver in LMIC settings; and (3) Provide bespoke support for researchers developing vaccines for diseases which primarily affect LMICs, so that the vaccines they are developing are as rapid and cost-effective to manufacture as possible. The projects are expected to collaborate with LMIC researchers and industry to support their work. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because, as a non-departmental public body of the UK government, EPSRC is uniquely positioned to manage research calls.
