The Department of Health and Social Care, operating through the UK Health Security Agency, has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of outsourced kitting production" in the medical equipment industry. The procurement, which involved the open procedure and was initiated due to urgent needs arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, features a total contract value of £70 million and was signed on 21st October 2021. The procurement process aimed to deliver outsourced production of Covid-19 PCR kitting with activities centred in the UK, specifically within the UKH12 region.
