Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (T&T) has conducted a procurement process titled "Mini-competition for the provision of Additional Lab Capacity to the Test and Trace Programme." This initiative falls under the medical laboratory services category (CPV code 85145000) and has a contract value of £12,900,000. The procurement was completed with the contract period spanning from 3rd August 2021 to 14th November 2021. The tender was executed using a selective procurement method, drawing on a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 2nd August 2021.

This contracting opportunity could fuel growth for businesses specialising in medical laboratory services, particularly those that can provide additional lab capacity efficiently. Companies with experience in healthcare services, especially during public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, may find this area particularly ripe for competition. Large and established medical laboratories, like Covance Laboratories, are well-positioned to succeed in such tenders, but smaller firms that can demonstrate capacity and swift responsiveness may also stand a chance.
