Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process titled "Provision of Xpert Assays" was conducted by Public Health England as part of ongoing efforts to protect public health in the UK amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This urgent requirement falls within the goods category, specifically for diagnostic kits, and utilised a direct procurement method through a single tender action due to extreme urgency. The tender period concluded on 21 December 2020, and the contract commenced on 21 January 2021, lasting until 20 June 2021. The overall contract value is set at £100,000, with delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.
