Summary of the contracting process

Public Health England initiated a tender for the purchase of an automated ELISPOT reader, vital for its emergency response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The procurement process, classified under medical equipment (CPV code: 33100000), was conducted using a direct procurement method via a single tender action, citing extreme urgency as the justification under regulation 32(2)(c). The contract, valued at £62,010, was awarded to Mabtech AB and is set to run from 30 June 2020 to 29 June 2021. The tender period closed on 12 June 2020. The delivery locations for the equipment include various regions across the UK, Europe, and British Overseas Territories.

This contract represents a growth opportunity particularly suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in medical supplies and laboratory equipment. Businesses that specialise in healthcare solutions, laboratory technologies, or emergency response products would be well-positioned to leverage similar procurement opportunities, especially in the context of ongoing public health challenges. With the increasing demand for medical equipment in response to emergencies, participating in such tenders could enhance their market presence and contribute to wider public health initiatives.
