Product delivery and technology consultancy Burendo has been appointed as the technical delivery partner on a multi-million-pound contract with the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA), supporting fundamental aspects of its operating model and providing core technology product development services.
The UKHSA is responsible for safeguarding public health from the impact of serious health threats. Acknowledging the current environment and challenges in the industry, the UKHSA is modernising its IT operations to strengthen the UK’s resilience against threats that include infectious diseases, chemical and biological incidents, radiological risks, and nuclear threats.
Burendo will serve as the UKHSA’s development operations (DevOps) partner on a three-year agreement, claiming it will help ensure the UKHSA “can cope with any incident, no matter how severe.”
The UKHSA’s partnership with Burendo will be multi-disciplinary and multi-layered, delivering DevOps teams who will own, build, and run key live services.
“We worked in collaboration with Burendo to create a multi-threat dashboard which is instrumental in helping us to understand the infectious disease landscape,” said Giulio Saggese, deputy head of development and operations, the UKHSA. “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.”

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,” said Glenn Crossley, co-founder of Burendo.
