Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency bought respiratory multiplex lateral-flow diagnostic test kits for use in respiratory testing. The requirement covers the supply of test kits rather than services or works. Delivery is associated with the Agency’s address in Canary Wharf, London. This is a purchase of diagnostic goods intended to support respiratory testing; suppliers whose business includes producing or supplying multiplex lateral-flow test kits are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Una Health Ltd. The Agency ran a further competition under the NHS Supply Chain framework for laboratory diagnostics, point-of-care testing and pathology managed services. The award was made on 16 October 2026, with a contract period from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £2,725,468.30. The submission deadline was 3 September 2026. Una Health Ltd was selected as the highest-scoring supplier under the Most Economically Advantageous Tender criteria.

For suppliers considering similar requirements from the UK Health Security Agency, this award demonstrates demand for respiratory multiplex lateral-flow diagnostic test kits through a further competition under an NHS Supply Chain framework. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified type of diagnostic kit and be able to compete through that framework route. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the successful supplier, Una Health Ltd, is recorded as an SME. This points to a requirement that SMEs can compete for, provided they can meet the product and competition requirements. The award gives a concrete example of the Agency’s purchasing focus and the tender evaluation basis: the highest-scoring Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
