Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care is currently involved in a public procurement process for the "Covid-19 Testing Software Platform," classified under medical analysis services. This process is at the award stage following a tender initiation. The contract, valued at €2,266,100, has been active since 16 April 2021 and is set to conclude on 15 July 2021, with a recent amendment extending its duration for an additional three months. The procurement is being conducted in the UK, with the contracted supplier being UgenTec, a large Belgium-based firm.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in software solutions, particularly those specialising in medical analysis services or laboratory information management systems. Companies capable of delivering technically adapted solutions for RT-qPCR testing, or those with experience in rapid software adaptations for health services, would be well-positioned to compete in the impending competitive procurement for a replacement solution. This contract not only illustrates the vital need for efficient health solutions but also presents a pathway for innovation and growth within the healthcare technology sector.

Notice Title

Covid-19 Testing Software Platform

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

Amendment to extend the original contract for three months under Reg 72(1)(b) pending a competitive (open) procurement for a replacement solution on the grounds that the existing software solution is technically specifically adapted for use for the RT-qPCR testing using the Perkin Elmer machines and existing LIMS software used at the Lighthouse Labs, and adaptation of an alternative solution in the timescales for acceptable cost is not practicable and would result in significant inconvenience and duplication of costs. The modification of the contract does not change the overall nature of the contract and the value of the modification is less than 50% of the original contract value.
