Legal Justification

Following the Ministerial announcement in the House of Commons on Thursday 23 April 2026 of a recent data incident, and due to internal and external stakeholders' requirements, UK Biobank needed to communicate further information with its 500,000 participants swiftly, within the shortest timeframe available. Of these participants, about 113,000 do not have e-mail addresses so correspondence has to be printed and posted. As participant data has to be shared to allow the correspondence to be printed and mailed, UK Biobank worked with 4 suppliers to identify which one could meet a mailing under such conditions, whilst maintaining the data security requirements. New, existing and previous suppliers were approached. The supplier selected was chosen based on their ability to offer the shortest print/production timeframe whilst maintaining data security and offering competitive pricing.
