The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has awarded Burendo, the product delivery and technology firm, a new contract. The contract makes Burendo the UKHSA’s trusted DevOps partner and is worth several million pounds over three years.
The award follows the successful delivery of another project by Burendo. This was for a public health dashboard that displays information about the various respiratory diseases and their impact across the UK. Burendo helped deliver the dashboard by creating the tech architecture, platforms and applications for UKHSA. This was an iteration of one created during the pandemic. That contract was awarded a year ago and worth £300,000.
Giulio Saggese, Deputy Head of Development and Operations, at the UKHSA, commented, “We worked in collaboration with Burendo to create a multi-threat dashboard which is instrumental in helping us to understand the infectious disease landscape. Burendo delivered a fantastic piece of work, and we are thrilled to be working with the team again. We’re looking forward to growing our partnership and seeing what more we can achieve together.”
The contract begins
The contract commenced on April 1st and will see Burendo supporting the UKHSA as its trusted DevOps partners. Supporting its mission to protect society in England and safeguard public health from the impact of serious health threats.
The UKHSA is currently modernising its IT operations to strengthen the resilience of the UK against health threats. Including infectious diseases, chemical and biological incidents, radiological risks, and nuclear threats. Burendo will provide multi-disciplinary and multi-layered, delivering DevOps teams who will own, build, and run key live services.
Glenn Crossley, Co-founder of Burendo, commented, “We are immensely proud to be chosen as the UKHSA’s partner of choice for the delivery and support of their critical technology solutions. Being awarded this contract is testament to the exceptional dedication and expertise of our entire team, who are consistently recognised by clients for delivering outstanding results. We are thrilled to be partnering with the UKHSA to advise and help them deliver crucial work to protect the UK public.”
