Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

To help support the NHS, DHSC put in place a National Fit Testing Team for England to support NHS Trusts access fit testing, so their staff can be fit tested to the wide range of masks now available.

The initial contract was put in place at the height of the pandemic under regulation 32 and ran until 30th September 2021. The contract was then reprocured under open tender, novated from DHSC to The Authority (Supply Chain Coordination Limited) 31/03/2022 and subsequently was extended to 31/03/2023. SCCL now wishes to put in place a contract for a National Fit Testing Service to run from 1st April 2023 onwards. The Authority is running this open 30-day procurement process to select a vendor to provide this. The contract period is expected to be from 1st April 2023-31 December 2023 with a possible extension of up to 6 months. The successful organisation will therefore be required to have mobilised their solution by 1st April 2023. The option to extend for up to a further 6 months will be in multiples of 3-month increments.
