Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the provision of oral swabs has been completed by Public Health England (PHE). This contract, valued at £132,000, falls under the medical consumables industry category and is based in the UK. The procurement was executed as a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to the unexpected increase in value related to the Covid pandemic. The contract was signed on 16 March 2020 and is set for a duration of three years, with the option to extend for an additional two years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the medical supply and healthcare sectors, as it focuses on the production of saliva collection devices for testing pathogens. Businesses that specialise in medical consumables or have the capability to manufacture or supply similar laboratory equipment would be well-positioned to engage in such tenders in the future. The active engagement of Malvern Medical Developments Ltd as the current supplier reflects the potential benefits for organisations capable of delivering high-quality medical products in a rapidly evolving market.
