Procurement Information
Negotiated procedure without prior publication1. The COVID-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.2. A key element of ensuring an effective response to the pandemic is ensuring that there is adequate testing. Subsequently securing sufficient lab capacity in order to process test results is crucial.3. A market engagement exercise identified that these consumables are in high demand with a highly volatile supply chain. There is limited supply chain capacity available to supply the required volumes within the necessary timescale while working within the required manufacturing tolerances and validation requirements.4. The step-change required in consumables volumes due to evolving Covid testing requirements and volatile supply chain capacity due to high global demand required DHSC to procure these consumables on an urgent basis. This led to an urgent need to scale-up the supply of the consumables to enable the scale-up in the testing capacity and to mitigate any potential risk to the existing test capacity.5. DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:A. As far as is strictly necessary: Increased supply of consumables to meet the increased number of tests now required was identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up population testing.B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: It is responding to COVID-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The Commission itself confirmed: "The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency - precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary." (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 01.04.2020).D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to ensure the amount of tests processed increases with the necessary demand. E. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority - DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency
