As such, the demand for testing kits has been significantly higher than anticipated which could not have been foreseen when the original contract was entered into. The additional volumes of test kits procured pursuant to this modification is for a stopgap supply of test kits to cover the period between the current supply of kits being exhausted and those obtained pursuant to the contract awarded under the accelerated open procedure. (b) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract:The test kit components remain exactly the same as those covered by the original contract.(c) The value of the modification is less than 50% of the original contract value.",

DHSC is extending the contract relying on Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to procure additional volumes of tests until 31 December 2020. DHSC is conducting an accelerated procurement for future requirements (Contract Notice reference 2020/S 218-536544)."
