Notice Description

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is planning to purchase a KI-Discus test instrument for use in its Vaccine Taskforce laboratories. UKHSA believes that the KI-Discus test instrument supplied by CTS Europe Ltd is the only available test instrument which can meet its requirements.
