Global Tuberculosis Screening Service

The Home Office (HO) is the government department responsible for safeguarding the nation through border control, immigration, passport issuance, policing, fire services, counter-terrorism and drugs policies. UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) plays an integral role in delivering this vision, managing millions of applications annually, enabling foreign nationals to visit, study, work or settle in the UK. As part of the evolution of existing services, UKVI pursues the transformation and modernisation of services in a manner that enhances customer experience and ensures accurate and efficient outcomes. One of the core services delivered by UKVI is pre-entry tuberculosis screening for specific visa routes. The Tuberculosis Screening Service Project is preparing to procure a revised service; enabling the continued delivery of front-end services, balancing continuity with improvements and transformation.
