Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care has completed a tender for the "Covid-19 Therapeutics Tracker," falling under the IT services sector, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. This procurement process was executed via a limited method, allowing for an award without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £204,000 and signed on 24th December 2020, relates to software designed to monitor Covid-19 treatments, including therapeutics, antivirals, and vaccines. The procurement stage is marked as complete, with the award made to Airfinity Ltd, based in London, UK.
