Notice Title

Lateral Flow Dynamic Purchasing System

Notice Description

This is a preliminary market engagement. In light of the ongoing surge in use cases, and as part of national measures to deal with the covid-19 pandemic, DHSC has a requirement for the ongoing supply of additional Lateral Flow Testing Kits. DHSC plans to launch a DPS (Dynamic Purchasing System) to help fulfil its requirement. Under a DPS potential providers are able to apply to be admitted to the DPS at any time over the duration of the DPS. DHSC will assess potential provider's applications against specified criteria. DHSC envisages that any such DPS will be divided into the categories of products (Lots) with differential characteristics. DHSC currently intends to run multiple procurements within the DPS to seek tenders from those providers that have qualified onto the DPS and whose tests fall within one or more of the relevant lots.
