    Brief

    UK Biobank is seeking two independent third-party organisations to provide verification and reporting services on researchers' completion of data deletion requirements. UK Biobank manages a large-scale biomedical database containing genetic, lifestyle, and health information from approximately 500,000 UK participants, including blood samples, heart and brain scans, and genetic data. Following a recent data security incident, UK Biobank is transitioning from its legacy data download model to a more secure, platform-based access model (UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform). As part of this transition, UK Biobank must ensure that all previously downloaded data held by researchers are permanently deleted. The successful suppliers will be responsible for independently inspecting, verifying, and reporting on researchers' data deletion activities to confirm compliance with UK Biobank's data protection requirements and support the organisation's transition to enhanced security controls.
