Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines Discovery Catapult is conducting a limited procurement process for the purchase of reservoirs and waste bags, necessary for establishing a Lighthouse laboratory as part of the UK Government's COVID-19 response. This procurement category falls under the laboratory, optical, and precision equipment sector, with a contract value of £45,000. The tender was awarded on 15th April 2020 and has a contract period extending from 16th April 2020 to 30th June 2020. With the tender already closed on 14th April 2020, the urgency of the procurement was justified under specific regulations due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the pandemic.

This procurement opportunity highlights significant potential for large businesses that can provide the required goods quickly and efficiently, particularly those specialising in laboratory equipment or related supplies. Companies that can align with the immediate needs of health services during public health emergencies stand to benefit. The demand for rapid response capabilities underscores the value placed on suppliers who can meet stringent timelines and provide high-quality products, especially in times of crisis.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Purchase of Reservoirs and Waste Bags

Notice Description

Purchase of reservoirs and waste bags related to the establishment of a Lighthouse laboratory as part of the UK Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its response to COVID-19 and with only days available, MDC, on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care, is entering into contracts without competition or advertising the requirement. In accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) and Procurement Policy Note 01/20, the following tests have been met: * There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency - the response to the COVID-19 consequences needs to be immediate because of public health risks. * The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseen - the COVID-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something that MDC could have predicted. * It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the Public Contract Regulations (2015) - there is no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation, nor does the MDC have access to an existing commercial agreement such as a framework or dynamic purchasing system. The situation is not attributable to the MDC - MDC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.
