Summary of the contracting process

The Coventry City Council is currently facilitating the procurement of the CSW - Coventry & Warwickshire Community COVID-19 Testing Service, with a contract value of £350,000. This project falls under the health and social work services category and aims to establish swift, local testing capabilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic within Coventry and Warwickshire. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the contract period set from 1st September 2020 to 28th February 2022. Interested bidders are advised that the prior tender reference COV-9245 has been superseded by this new reference, COV-9277, due to platform issues, and the tender had an end date for bids on 4th August 2020.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in health services, particularly those with expertise in community testing and mobile health provision. Companies capable of delivering testing solutions in community settings such as schools, workplaces, and residential areas will be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, this contract favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), potentially allowing local businesses to establish partnerships and enhance their service offerings in public health initiatives.

Notice Title

CSW - Coventry & Warwickshire Community COVID - 19 Testing Service - AWARD

Notice Description

*PLEASE NOTE* - Due to an error with the e-tendering platform this project COV-9277 has replaced COV-9245. It is exactly the same project as COV-9245 but with a different reference number on csw-jets.co.uk. The tender document set will remain coded as COV-9245. Project COV-9245 has now been archived and you are required to express an interest in this new project to continue with the process. ____________________________________ The government launched the national NHS Test and Trace Service on 28th May 2020. This national service is designed to control the virus and enable people to live a safer and more normal life. The overarching guiding principles being Test; Trace; Contain; Enable. The objective of this procurement is to ensure that swift and effective local provision of community testing is always available to support the multiagency SARS-CoV-2 outbreak response in Coventry and Warwickshire in non-health and care settings and to ensure capacity for prevalence testing (i.e. proactive testing) within specific communities/settings as required. The service will deliver this by delivering safe, consistent, equitable, and high-quality COVID-19 testing within defined settings and populations, timely transport of samples to laboratories, and - subject to which tests are used - communicating patient identifiable and aggregated data to key partners. The service will also deliver training and support to allied workers to increase testing capacity within the local system to be able to respond to multiple local outbreaks. A sub-regional outbreak control plan for Coventry, Warwickshire, and Solihull has been developed (with individual local implementation plans), with eight key priorities; one of these priorities is identified as 'local testing capacity'. The local outbreak plan is available here. The local testing service will need to ensure a swift response that is accessible to the local population to support outbreak testing in non-health and care settings (which are supported through other routes), and for individuals who may not be able to access current testing sites/for whom home testing is not appropriate. It is proposed that two service providers will be procured to deliver community testing (initially antigen testing via nose and throat swab) for outbreaks in non-health and care settings, and for individuals who cannot access testing via other means. Coventry City Council will lead the procurement and the service will operate across Coventry and Warwickshire. The service activity will be called off the contract alternating each provider as per requirement, with the highest scoring provider given first service referral. The providers will: Deliver testing sessions within particular venues/settings, e.g. schools and early years, workplaces, residential accommodation for homeless and vulnerable migrant communities (in outbreak scenario/as part of the proactive testing programme as required) Deliver...
